*** 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.

Anya says
Moore Me!! I once was working at a store when Kelly McGillis (Top Gun) came in and bought something with her credit card so I technically got her signature :) didn’t keep a copy of the receipt of course! But still special.
My brothers have a copy of Sir Edmund Hillary’s signature on an Everest poster (he’s the one who first climbed Mt Everest)… So that’s pretty cool!
Kari says
MOORE ME

Moore Me!
It doesn’t quite count since I didn’t get an autograph, BUT I did meet Prince Charles when I studied abroad in London during college. It was at a tree planting ceremony in Green Park in honor of the Queen Mum’s 100th birthday. (It sounds so very British, doesn’t it? Any excuse for a little pageantry!) I have to say, he’s much better looking in person, or maybe it’s just the aura of royalty… ha!
Bethany says
MOORE ME!
I got Paige Davis and Laurie Smith from Trading Spaces (back in the day when that was all the rage) to autograph books for me.
Kerry says
MOORE ME!

My mom used to work at a local fairgrounds doing catering for rock concerts. I got some sweet autographs including one from White Lion. Woot! :)
Annie Staebler says
MOORE ME!
I am not one to ask for autographs usually, but I did score an autograph from Aaron Rodgers post-Super Bowl win…and even funnier, my 3-year-old daughter was playing shy so he tickled her and complimented her Dora shoes;) (to this day I tell her she has no idea how many women would love to say Aaron Rodgers tickled them, ha!). It’s true, I’m insanely jealous (and I think my husband secretly is too).
I also got an autograph from Daniel Eugene “Rudy” Ruettiger – that’s right the guy the movie Rudy was based on – when I was a kid. He had a cottage on a lake in northern Wisconsin right next door to my friend’s cottage.
Aliesha says

Moore Me! No famous or semifamous autographs…..
Ashlee says
MOORE ME!
Ashlie says
MOORE ME!!
I somehow got a signed photo from a Pro Golfer. I don’t like golf…and he spelled my name wrong. So I’m really banking on Candice Olsen’s to really start my autograph collection :)
Lena says
MOORE ME!
Hmmm I don’t really have any famous signed things, although I do treasure my 3 year olds writing with the backwards J’s and S’s and an E with as many horizontal lines as she can fit.
Renee says
MOORE ME!
I’ve got a couple of fantastic authors’ autographs. Oooh! and Joey McIntyre from NKOTB

Maddy says
MOORE ME! Jaime Lee Curtis signed a whole bunch of stuff for me, and also proceeded to tell me she wanted to lick my feet. Weird one, she is.
Lindsay says
MOORE ME!
I got a picture with and autograph from John Mayer at DC’s 9:30 Club before he was really famous circa 2001.
Courtney says
MOORE ME! I have a huge signed poster of Lance Armstrong that my dad bought for me when I was a teenager and still a cyclist. The best part for me, though, was the fact that one of our friends is a photographer for the Tour de France, and he was the one who got the shot.
ana says
moore me!
I love meeting authors and getting their books autographed. Two of my favorites include, a David Sedaris book, and the Design Sponge book signed by Grace herself.

I could really use the paint, we just bought a new house and have to reprint every room in the house, lol. My favorite signature was from my fav band Better than Ezra! My ex got it somehow, it was the best part of our relationship, lol.
Christine says
MOORE ME!
I have Nacy Kerrigan’s autograph. I was about 15, and she was so not into doing it. Oh well.
Megan says
Moore me! I think the only autographs I’ve ever gotten are from the ladies of Eden’s Crush. “Whom,” you may ask? Exactly.
(One of those ladies is Nicole Scherzinger, so at least one of them went on to do something after that blip of time in 2001.)
Lindsey says
MOORE ME!
A decade ago, I got Senator John McCain’s autograph while on a high school field trip to Capital Hill.
Courtney Edwards says
MOORE ME! I can’t recall anything that I’ve had signed–no sports memorabilia or books. Hmm….
