*** 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.

Dinna D says
Moore Me, please!! I love Benjamin Moore paint and my daughter is dying to get a paint makeover for her bedroom!! We both watch and LOVVVVVE Candace’s show, so getting her book for inspiration would be awesome, not to mentioning the autograph would be a bonus!!!
I have gotten a few autographs over the years, but love the one I got from the husband and wife team of Isabel & Ruben Toledo.
thanks for offering this great giveaway!!

MOORE ME!
I’m very shy and although I’ve seen many celebrities (used to live in NYC), I’ve never dared to approach them and ask for a autograph.

MOORE ME!
Lisa Hansen says
MOORE ME! I’m pretty sure I’ve got Denise Richard’s (Charlie Sheen wife #2) signature somewhere. Mind you it’s my middle school yearbook and she was all of 13 when she signed it, and as it has a picture of 12 year-old me in it – it will never see the light of day!
Lilly says

“MOORE ME” I snagged Elvis’. Not the real Elvis, just a creepy impersonator. But it’s better than nothing! :D
StephM says
Moore me! I have a signed letter from Ann M. Martin, the author of the Babysitter’s Club books. Pretty much made my year when I was 10. ;)
Lauren @ Craft My Life Away says
Moore Me!!
Um… Will Smith. I lived on W 68th and the theater on that street was always used for premiers. My sister and I would wait in line to grab a glimpse of someone famous and possible get an autograph or even into the premier. I saw Will Smith and I nearly died. He signed my Bad Boys VHS. lol. And he touched my right hand.
Debra says
Moore Me!
Kim Ellis says
MOORE ME!!!!!!!!!!!! and my mom actually got the autograph for me. She wouldn’t let me go to the KISS concert when I was about 13, but then she ran into Paul Stanley in a hotel elevator…..and yes, I know how that sounds. So I have Paul Stanley’s autograph from about 1985 in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Robyn says

MOORE ME!
Aubree says
MOORE ME!
I have Irish Dance Shoes that have the signatures of a good chunk of the cast of Riverdance. And another pair with the Lord of the Dance cast. Yeah, I’m obsessed.
Bethany says
MOORE ME…
I once did an event for Madeline Albright and she sent me a handwritten thank you note shortly after. She’s a perfect combo of incredibly kind, fiercely intelligent and absolutely hilarious.
Coran says
Moore Me!

MOORE ME!
Lindsay C. Terrell says
MOORE ME!
I haven’t actually ever gotten an autograph myself, but friends of mine got them for me. In High School, Save Ferris was my FAVORITE band and my friends got their album signed for me. In college Michael Franti was my FAVORITE musician and my not-boyfriend got him to sign a DVD of him in Irag in 2004 for me.
Jasie says
Moore me! Last year we went to the national book festival and got autographs from children’s authors Calef Brown and Tomie de Paola.
Kimberly says
MOORE ME! I discovered an old baby book of mine is signed by Eric Carl, that was a pleasant surprise!
Lindsey says
Moore Me!!!
Lisa says
MOORE ME!
I have no cherished autographs. I guess it’s not my thing. Although, I’m sure when my son gets old enough, I will love to have his artwork signed.
S349 says
Moore me!
I worked as a volunteer backstage at the first Farm Aid. I met everybody. What a great experience.
Diana says
MOORE ME! The most exciting signature I have is probably from my Congressman, which was a response to an opinion letter. Geeky, I know, but I’ve never been one to chase celebs! Except now, because Candice could help me SOOO much. I do have a picture of a Fiona Apple set list if that counts, haha!
Yvonne says
moore me!!
Raj says
Moore me, please! My favorite author, Amitav Ghosh, signed a copy of a recent book for me. Not quite a celebrity, but I am a nerd and love books. I was so nervous when I was waiting in line for his autograph! When I got to the front, I blurted out “Your books are so kind!” I was so embarrassed when I said it, but I realized later I meant it because it came from the heart.
Nina says
MOORE ME! I have only signed art by the kids of my friends. One promised to be famous when she’s grown up so I have to hang onto it in case it will be worth money someday ;)
Hannahhenning says
Moore me . . .I can’t wait to get my first card signed by my son! He has scribbled on a few for me, but I look forward to his first ‘card’ signature made without any help.
Kristin M says
MOORE ME!!!
Hmmm…I don’t know if I have anything signed by anyone…my husband has a baseball signed by Cal Ripken Jr. But I would love to have something signed of my very own!
YvonneM says
MOORE ME!
No autographs from the famous, I’m afraid. Never in the right place at the right time – but I cherish all the greetings cards from my sons.
April says
Moore ME!!!
Dave Brubeck graciously signed a CD for me for as a Christmas gift to my stepdad. I tactfully waited until he was finished with his meal (I was his waitress).
Michaelann says
Moore me!
My husband has handwritten notes from Paul Simon and Edie Brickell. Paul Simon’s note says “Scott, learn how to think.” Decent advice, in my opinion!
Marcy says
Moore Me! I haven’t gotten any signatures :(
Jodi says
MOORE ME!
I have an autographed poster from an Australian band “The Audrey’s” speaking of that, I should really get on hanging it up in our house!
Laura says
MOORE Me! The only real autograph I ever really got was from Oopsie the Clown, back in first grade :)
Christy says
“MOORE ME”, I’m a huge military/space fan so back when I had just graduated from high school and toying the idea of going into the military our city hosted an air show with the (at the time) largest military transport, which happened to be Russian. I got all of their autographs. In fact I think all my autographs I’ve got are from military events. Must be something about men in uniform :)
Debra says
“Moore Me” My mother pushed me to ask Burl Ives for his autograph when I was about 5-6 yrs. I didn’t know who the man was or why I needed his autograph.
