*** 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!)

Marta says
MOORE ME — I’ve never ever gotten someone’s autograph :(
Jenny B says
Moore me! Not embarrassed to say that I (as an adult) went to the So You Think You Can Dance live tour (yes I bought tickets) and got lots of autographs from my favorite (teenager) dancers!
Carla says
MOORE ME!!!!!!! I love her so much, this would be such a dream come true. Only autographs I ever got was of some professional football players when they came to my elementary school. I was far to young to know who any of them were, but they were famous!
Kristin L. says
MOORE ME! I have a few autographed drum sticks. My favorite is from Mates of State!
Nicolette says
Moore Me! I’ve never managed to snag anything ‘famous’ so I would love for my first to be from Candice:)
Deborah says
MOORE ME!
I have a book signed by Morgan Wooten(coach at DeMatha High School) part of an envelope signed by Cal Ripken Jr. and my most prized autographed piece is a beautiful picture of a bird sign by the artist who is also my 10 year old niece, Grace.
JS says
MOORE ME! Daniel Boulud is my favorite chef, and I got him to autograph a cookbook for me :o)

Sheilagh says
MOORE ME…I love Ben Moore paints!
Kathy says
Moore Me! I adore Candace Olson. Probably my biggest claim to fame was that I met Bill Clinton during his first campaign in 1992 and met a favorite British author, Margaret Drabble, who autographed one of her novels at a reading. :)
Whitney J says
MOORE ME! I’d rather have one from a niece/nephew than a celebrity.
Emily black says
Moore me,
Megan C. says
MOORE ME! I have zero autographs.
Sheryl says
Moore me!!!!
Kristen says
Moore me! My husband and I (nerd alert) love Star Trek the next generation so my mother invited Patrick Stewart to our wedding (she was hoping he would send an autographed picture like Mickey supposedly does if you send an invite to Disney lol) and he did! He wrote “to Nick and Kristen, make it so, Patrick Stewart” and it now hangs in our living room. Super super dorky, but I love it.
CATHY says
MOORE ME!
I bought a second-hand book without knowing it was already signed by one of my favourite authors, Kathy Reichs, (executive producer of “Bones” and author behind the series that inspired the show).
Stacey says
MOORE ME!!!
I have a few autographs that I treasure…
* 4 of the 5 members of Duran Duran
* Christian Laettner (Duke Blue Devils center ’88-’92) signed my ticket for day 1 of the NCAA Eastern Regional Finals…on day 2 he took what is now considered the best basketball shot of all time!
* A signed Keith Haring Swatch watch
* A copy of Interview magazine signed by Andy Warhol
sallie says
MOORE ME!
the members of Weezer signed my blue album CD. word.
Shauna says
MOORE ME!
Back when I was younger and dragged to Nascar races with adults(I had no choice) I got my hat autographed by Dale Earnhardt. Another family who liked Dale Earnhardt wore the hat so much the sun faded the autograph. Probably would have been worth some money if I still had it! Shucks!
Kelly M says
MOORE ME
Christine S says
MOORE ME
I had the doctor who took out my tonsils sign my autograph book when I was 7. It starts out “for the girl whose tonsils should have been a centerfold…”
LoquaciousLaura says
Moore me!
This isn’t me, but I was there … my wife is really really into roller derby (so am I, but I’m not quite so much of a fangirl), so at the most recent East Region Tournament she got over fifty autographs from some of the most famous skaters! She claims it was all a ploy to learn more from them, as she’s a coach, but don’t believe her … she was giddy with excitement and later framed the poster from the event with all the signatures. :)
Jen T. says
MOORE ME!
I work in the music industry and have had the opportunity to meet a few celebrities. But one of my favorite memories is when I met and got to hang out with Rick James. That guy was hilarious!
Anna says
MOORE ME! I’m a huge baseball fan and I have a baseball signed by an entire world championship team.
Sonia says
Moore Me!
I went to a private show held at Virgin Records store for Dido’s second album release and got her signature. What ever happened to Virgin Records and to Dido?
Cecile says
MOORE ME!
I’ve never met anyone famous ever. Hopefully this signature will be my first :)

Moore me!
I have Dave Matthews’ autograph on a t-shirt. Woo-hoo! :)
Erica R says
MOORE ME! :)
When I was 12 years old, I got Jonathan Taylor Thomas’ authograph. I was in his fan club (dork alert!) and was so excited when I got a signed picture of him! I displayed it proudly on my night stand forever.
Now, as a 26 year old, my favorite “autographs” are the drawings that my nephews give me. I plan on framing them and hanging them in my bedroom once we redecorate! <3
… 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?
Kaitlyn says
MOORE ME!
I have a Detroit Red Wings jersey signed by Stevie Y – probably not a big deal for non-Detroiters, but definitely a classic for me!
Lisa says
Moore Me!
HAHA, I love this question. I got MC Hammer’s autograph in a Denny’s parking lot. Not his best moment, but it was funny to us (at the time) college students!
kalibrooke says
MOORE ME! I’m ready to rip off the old wallpaper in my apartment and start painting…
I was able to get Bill Clinton’s autograph in ’92 when I was at the mall in Georgetown. Little did a 14-year-old girl know that the future President was campaigning there…still too young to vote, alas.
The other notable one was when I was at the Denver airport and saw Kurt Browning, the mens figure skater. My parents were big fans, and I went up to him and asked him if I could get his autograph for them. It’s hanging on their wall!
Taylor Woods says
MOORE ME! No famous signatures for me!
Ashley @ sunnysideshlee.com says
MOORE ME!!
I snagged autographs from Benji and Joel Madden from Good Charlotte back when they were just starting to get popular. I was soooo nervous going right up to them but they were sweet as pie and signed my hat with no problems! Then a few short years later they blew up into mega stars!
Meg says
Moore me! No great autographs here… Boring.
Maggie says
Moore Me!
I’ve always kept a sweet card our friends’ children handmade to cheer us up when our dog died.
Casey @ wafflingdesign says
MOORE ME!
The last signature I got was from The Bloggess on her book! That brings my total up to 1 signature
Emily H. says
MOORE ME!
First a little background information: I grew up in Knoxville where it’s all about the Tennessee Volunteer, and my father owned a construction company, so lots of my childhood memories take place a job sites. Anyway, when we saw Peyton Manning one day the guys had to get his autograph. He actually ended up signing a backhoe! His signature was promptly covered by plastic wrap and duct tape so it wouldn’t get “dirty”! That still cracks me up.
Jess says
MOORE ME! Back in Elementary school Amy Grant sent me a signed postcard!
Alisha Carey says
Moore me!
The only autograph I have is yours! It’s on my desk :)
