*** 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…

Terry C says
MOORE ME!
I don’t have any autographs, but I was personally given a bottle of cold water from Flea, bassit for Red Hot Chili Peppers, when I was dying of dehydration and heat on the front row of one of their concerts. I held on to the bottle cap for a looooooong time!
Katie says
MOORE ME! …only my beautiful little daughter’s signature.
Kristen says

I got Fabio’s autograph on my 14th birthday. Jealous?
CT says
Moore Me! I think one of the only autographs and one of the best ones I have is from Randy Grim, the founder of Stray Rescue (www.strayrescue.org) an amazing animal rescue group in St. Louis. He is an angel on earth and I was so excited when he signed my copy of “Don’t Dump the Dog” (one of his books). Thanks guys. Cheers – CT

David Crosby came to my checkout counter when I was working at the Air Force Museum Gift Shop, so I bought myself a postcard and had him sign it for me.
Kate B says
MOORE ME!
I got a signature from Taye Diggs after he filled in for Norbert Leo Butz (and played opposite his wife, Idina Menzel!) in Wicked. I told him that I loved his guest spot on “Ed” that he did a few years prior. He kind of blinked at that, I’m guessing people don’t complement him on that one very often!
Penny says
MOORE ME!
I got Ken Griffey Jr.’s signature and picture, when he was in the minor leagues in my town and I was his letter carrier, many years ago! My son was thrilled!

Christa @ a*typicaljourney says
Moore Me!
I’m kind of weird about asking people for autographs – I feel like I’m bugging them. Even after a concert when they set up the table and everything. BUT, I I couldn’t resist signing up to receive autographed bookplate for my pre-ordered and highly-anticipated copy of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson (aka The Bloggess) <3
Colleen says

Christy says
MOORE ME!
I was beside myself when I got Goofy’s autograph at Disney World. As an 8 years old, that’s exciting stuff.
Joy Stoops says
MOORE ME! When I was around 13 I got Mario Lopez’s autograph at a local high school wrestling meet (I was there with my sister who was watching her bf compete!). It was the highlight of my young, Saved By the Bell obsessed life. Haha

MOORE ME!! I got a book signed by the Pulitzer Prize winning author and that was pretty cool to a history nerd like me!
Jess says
MOORE ME!
I’ve never really understood the value of a celebrity autograph. I guess the best “signed” thing I have would be the card my husband gave me on our wedding day.
