*** This contest is now closed – see who won below!***
And this week’s random winner is… Stacy (who says “when I was little, I got the local radio dj’s autograph and thought I was so cool! Looking back, it is just funny how silly it was!”). Congrats Stacy!
We love us some Candice Olson (and still pinch ourselves that our faces share a webpage with her over on BenjaminMoore.com). So we sweet talked our way into a little Benjamin Moore / Candice Olson prize for you guys – including a signed copy of her latest book, Candice Olson Bedrooms. So once you’ve torn yourself away from petting her signature (not that we’d do that, ok we totally would) and are ready to put that Olson-spiration to use, Benjamin Moore’s gonna lend a hand with two gallons of their Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, a $50 gift card, and your very own Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck. And if that’s not enough of a Candice fix for ya, you can enter to win a personal design consultation from her over on Benjamin Moore’s site.
- PRIZE: Two gallons of Aura paint, a 7-piece applicator kit, $50 gift card, a Candice Olson Design Picks fan deck and signed copy of Candice Olson Bedrooms courtesy of Benjamin Moore.
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “MOORE ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what other autograph have you snagged? Did you get your favorite band to sign an album cover? Or receive a signed letter from a big name public figure? Maybe you got a big novelty check signed by Ed McMahon? Or just a sweet crayon-drawing signed by a niece or nephew?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Sept 12th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States & Canada (we couldn’t leave out Candice’s homeland!)
- USUAL STUFF: One entry per e-mail address is permitted. The winner will be selected using random.org and announced on Thursday as an update to this post. That’s right, come right back here on Thursday for the announcement of our winner. Good luck…
Note: We aren’t paid or perked for hosting these giveaways, we just do ‘em to thank you awesome folks for stopping in. See our Giveaway FAQ page for more info. Pics courtesy of Benjamin Moore.

MOORE ME! I am pretty sure I still have my Disney princess autograph book from my third grade trip to Disneyworld :)
Erin says
Moore me!
I’ve only ever received two autographs, but both were from two of my favorite actors and both were in person, so this girl is okay with only ever having received two!
Andrea A says
MOORE ME!
The only autograph I have ever received is when my parents mailed one of my wedding invitations to the White House and our State Capital. I got a letter of congratulations from (TX) Governor Perry & (former) President Bush. (Though I think my parents got a bigger kick out of the autographs than I did!) ;-)
Laurie says
MOORE ME!
No famous autographs but I’m counting on my daughter’s art to make it big one day!
Susanna says
MOORE ME!
My husband has an autographed baseball from the Cubs (in the 90s). It’s not really worth anything, but it’s cool because my husband basically lived baseball growing up.
And I also LOVE Candace–she is a design genius!
Liz Toftness says
Moore me!
One of my favorite musicians, Fernando Ortega, autographed an album sleeve and posed for a photo with my cousin and sister and me. We were like 12. What a guy.

Haha, I think the best I’ve done in terms of autographs was Cinderella at Disneyland when I was twelve.

MOORE Me!
Growing up, my grandfather was always a fan of the Toronto Maple Leafs. For those who might not know, this is Canada’s most loved (yet most unsuccessful) hockey team… I was at a BBQ several years ago and managed to get the signature of one of their goalies at the time for my grandfather! He was thrilled and so was I :)
P.s. Candice Olson is wonderful. Love her style and love for design almost as much as I love reading your blog!
