*** 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!)

Michelle M says
MOORE ME! After high school, I went to Disney World for my best friend’s 18th birthday and we stood in line to get autographs of all the Disney characters. I’m sure most people assumed we were babysitting…but nope. Just kids at heart :)

MOORE ME!

MOORE ME!
Country singer Tammy Wynette sat on a barstool onstage after her concert and was nice enough to autograph a photo of herself (for free) for me when I was only 7.
When I got home, upon further inspection, I noticed you could barely see her handwriting – so I did what any 7 year-old would do, I got a pen and went over it, carefully, and made it darker, and more noticeable.
My mother cried. :)
Vicky v says
Moore me. Please. :)
Crystal says
MOORE ME! We are huge GA Bulldogs fans, including my 5 yr old son. A few years ago we got Herschel Walker to sign a picture that now hangs in my son’s room. He loves it.

No autograph but my husband and I did hug and get to talk to one of our favorite indie bands, delta spirit. My husband was on cloud nine. Lol

MOORE ME! I don’t think I have any famous autographs. But my friend met Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison in 2005 and got a football signed by the two of them … and I got to touch it!
Chelsea says
MOORE ME! The only autograph I remember getting was R.L. Steins when I was in Middle School. I was obsessed with the Goosebumps books.

Moore Me!
When my two young cousins (13 and 10) visited us for a month last summer we took them to NYC to a broadway show and the lead actor was super cute so we stood outside the stage door for them to come out and got a bunch of the actors and especially the cute one to sign their playbill. They were extatic to say the least.
Jasmin S. says
MOORE ME… I got Nancy Kerrigan’s autograph when I was 10… it was right after the Olympics and it was the best day ever!
Beth says
MOORE ME!
I scored Sister Hazel’s autographs at a concert 10+ years ago on my sweet backstage pass. I thought it was fantastic! In the last decade, nothing. :) Thanks for the chance!
Mamaw says
MOORE ME! I have Steve Wariner’s (country & western singer/songwriter)autograph on the butt of a pig stress ball thingy. I would gladly send you a picture of it.

MOORE ME!
I got David Copperfield’s autograph on a t-shirt after a show when I was a teenager.
When I was little, I got Lynda Robb’s autograph. Chuck Robb was Virginia governor at the time. She is also President Johnson’s daughter. that was cool.
No idea where either of those autographs are now though…
Cristin says
Moore me!
Once in grade school we had to write to celebrities and tell them about our dreams. The celebrity assigned to me was Ed Asner. I had no idea who he was at the time but he wrote back! I should go find that letter.
Maija says
Moore ME!!!! A signed copy of David Sedaris 1st Book. Makes me smile every time I see it.
Emily @ NewlyWife says
MOORE ME! I got Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor’s autographs when I was an extra in Dodgeball. It was a really fun experience and if you freeze frame/don’t blink, you’ll see me during the dodgeball matches. :)
Sandy H. says
MOORE ME! My favorite autographed pictures are those done by my children and the many children that passed through the library at the school where I worked. Even better than the childrens authors I have had the opportunity to meet over the years.
Jen M says
MOORE ME!
My husband and I are avid Phillies fans and were lucky enough to (recently) get 3 of the players from the 1980s World Series team to sign the front page of a 1980 newspaper that my husband’s grandfather had with the winning headline on it!
Sara says
“MOORE ME”
Emily L says
Moore me! I had my picture taken with the Detroit Pistons’ Bison Dele (who’s death is still sort of a mystery) — but no autographs. Come to think of it, I don’t think I have the picture anymore either.
Eryn says
Moore me!!
I got an autograph from Stephanie off of Full House when I was younger!!
Elizabeth says
MOORE ME!! I think the most exciting autograph I have received is from Mickey Mouse. I still remember how incredible it was to meet Mickey at Disney World as an eight-year-old. As a kid, it doesn’t get bigger than that.
Kirsten says
MOORE ME!
And, coincidentally, one of the autographs I have is that of Mandy Moore. I waited in line at the mall to meet her. It was pretty epic back in the day…
Heather says
Moore me!
I just got a book signed by Jamie Lee Curtis on Saturday. She’s such a charismatic lady!

MOORE ME!
Megan says
Moore me! I got a signed letter two years ago from Yann Martel, author of Life of Pi…
Riki says
MOORE ME!
I only have one other photograph – a signed copy of a Chef Michael Smith cookbook. You might not have heard of him in the US but he’s local to my region and an amazing chef! He’s also super tall and I have a ridiculous picture of myself standing next to him and I come up to like his armpits.
Casi says
MOORE ME!
I’ve never been lucky enough to meet someone famous, but would love to meet any of my favorite country singers.
Jo @ Let's Face the Music says
MOORE ME! My favorite autograph is my boss’ on the bottom of my paycheck. Oh, yeah!
katie says
MOORE ME!
In college, I had a knack for running into whatever band we were seeing in concert right afterwards, so I have a few autographs on ticket stubs. My favorite is from all the members of the Counting Crows.
Jen says
Moore me I’m Canadian!
I don’t think I’ve ever gotten an autograph from anyone. The only thing kinda sorta related is the tattoo I got of my son’s handprint. He passed away shortly before birth, so I wanted to get a marking of one of the few physical things he left behind.
LindsayG says
MOORE ME!
I have photos and autographs from my favorite local News Reporters hanging proudly on my fridge!!
Jenni says
Moore Me!
I got the signatures of our entire local hockey team on the back of my jersey, including the mascot :)
jennifer says
MOORE ME!
Jack Wagner. Yes! And a photo with him with his arm around me. I was 12’ish. Pretty sure he had the feathered mullet.
Abby says
MOORE ME! I don’t have any famous autographs yet, but hope that changes at some point in my future :)
Leanne says
MOORE ME! Some guy introduced himself to me at a random event when I was visiting LA. “Hi, I’m Moby.” My response, “Hi Moby. I’m Leanne. Good to meet you.” It wasn’t until much later that a friend pointed him out and said “Oh my gosh! That’s Moby! You know, the recording artist!” Needless to say, I didn’t get an autograph.
Sarah says
Moore Me!
I have a few band autographs. I think my favorite was getting Remy Zero’s autograph after their concert. They were awesome guys.
Cheri Moser says
MOORE ME!
Other than some Disney characters at Disney World (when I was 8)… I got nothing!
Samantha says
Moore Me! I collect my husbands autograph in the form of all the cards he has given me over the years!
