*** 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…

Alice says
MOORE ME!
I took a cooking class with Julia Child in the early 1990s and had her sign not only my diploma, but also my original two volumes of “Mastering the Art of French Cooking.” I have the framed diploma on display in my kitchen, but the cookbooks are nowhere near any splatters or spills!

MOORE ME!

Cathy says
MOORE ME! No autographs here ;-) I was once in a hotel in Connecticut, across the street from an Eminem concert though. We could hear the entire concert from our hotel room. Thought Sherry might appreciate it (more than we did, actually!).
Andrea T. says
The guys from Milli Vanilli came into my Dad’s store and he scored me an autograph! I should frame that.

“MOORE ME” I’m an avid knitter and recently scored an autograph from Melissa Leapman, a wonderful knitwear designer.

Emily K says
MOORE ME! Once when I was 16 and worked at Jack-in-the-Box, Milton Berle came in and ordered a spicy chicken sandwich. NO ONE BELIEVED ME!
Jamie F says
MOORE ME! While getting a CD signed by one of my favourite artists (Mason Jennings) a few years ago was pretty cool, I would have to say the 5 year old me was probably a lot more excited to get a book filled with signatures from Disney characters when we visited Disney World…many many moons ago!
Momcat says
MOORE ME!!!
This summer, the band Train came to RVA and we took our son (who uses a wheelchair). At the end of the show, Pat Monahan came down off the stage and presented him with a guitar, autographed by all of the members of the band. An unbelievable moment!! (And my favorite band EVER! from now on)
Erin B says
MOORE ME! I skipped school in 3rd grade to wait in line for Jennifer Grey’s autograph. I loved ‘Dirty Dancing’ despite the fact that I had no clue what was actually happening in the movie.
Gaidig says
MOORE ME!
I think the most exciting signature I ever got was when I was a kid, and I loved reading the Babysitter’s Club books. My mom’s godmother happened to know the author, Ann M. Martin, and got her to write me a note. I was totally ecstatic when it came in the mail.
Kelly says
“MOORE ME”
Well, I THOUGHT my friends and sister got me one of the Backstreet Boy’s autographs when I was in about 8th grade, but it was just a mean joke. Haha, I even pinned it on my bedroom wall. Obviously, I was very cool :)
Marie says
MOORE ME!
Um. I’ve had books signed by Heather Armstrong and Ree Drummond, but that’s about it. I’m bad at autographs. Ooh! Unless you count my Disney autograph book from when I went to Disneyland in third grade! I got me a ton of autographs in that one. :)
Aron says
MOORE ME!! I have signatures from the Princesses at Disney World but my daughter enjoyed it alot more than I did!
Maura B says
MOORE ME!!!
Prince. At 32, at a Prince concert (he was Prince again by then and not that weird sign) and I cried like a 12 year old a Justin Beiber concert.
Victoria says
MOORE ME!! I got Seth Green’s autograph back in the 90’s when he was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and I thought it was the coolest thing!
Miriam Sohlberg says

MOORE ME!
I had Shaun Cassidy sign my autograph book when I was in the second grade. I got to go backstage at his concert–a friend of my dad’s hooked us up. I was so excited and of course could barely speak to him when we met. haha

MOORE ME!
Krista says
MOORE ME!
When I was in fifth grade I admired the high school basketball team that had won state. I was amazed when I got them all to sign my ticket and take a picture with them!
Lindsey Engelland says
MOORE ME! I stood in line for 5 hours and waited for N Sync to sign their CD cover for me. This was before they were really even popular, back when JT was known for his CURLY hair!!! I still have it…under my car seat for some reason.
Lindsay says
“MOORE ME!” As a kid I got signatures of the voices of Pinky and the Brain. It was one of my favorite cartoons haha :)
Ash says
Moore me! My first autograph was a postcard from Tori Spelling when she was Donna on “90210” in third grade (it was a class project to write to a celebrity. WTF was I doing watching 90210 when I was 8-9 years old?!). Now I squee over author- and actor-graphs, like the ones I got from Renee Zellweger and Hugh Grant at the London premiere of “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason” during my study abroad, and my hilariously inappropriate one from Patrick Rothfuss in his first epic novel, “The Name of the Wind.”
jane says
MOORE ME!
I have several signed books that I like all the same. My husband has one signed by Vince Flynn, one of his favorite authors, so that’s a favorite signature of his.
Rachel says
MOORE ME!
I waited in line for hours as a little girl for Jodi Sweetins autograph. Definitely the highlight of my childhood!
Michelle says
“MOORE ME”
The last autograph that I snagged was a set list signed by each of The Constellations but I did get to touch Stephen Tyler’s shoulder once. :)

MOORE ME!
I bought my grandpa an autographed photo of Lou Brock, does that count?

Cori says
MOORE ME!
I have several valentines and birthday cards signed by my sweet, sweet nephews, and I cherish every one.
Krysta Mannle says
MOORE ME…
I love Candice Olson! This would be the perfect prize for myself and my hubby as we are building our own home from scratch at the moment! It would come in so handy… and very soon… :)
I have a signature from my great Uncle Johnny Bower who played in the NHL for the Toronto Maple Leafs… plus signatures from my little baby cousins who make me wonderful artwork and my mom and sister who have painted & created work for me and signed it.
Brianne says
MOORE ME! I think the only autographs I’ve ever gotten are ones in Disney World when I was younger. Wonder how much those are worth now? haha
Amber says
MOORE ME!
I’ve got an autograph book full of Disney Characters somewhere around my house. :)
