*** 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…

The only signatures I got in the past were the Disney characters when I took a childhood trip to Disney World, in my own little autograph book and everything. I was ontop of the world =)

MOORE ME.
Let’s see. I have a signature from Frank Catalanotto who once played on the Jays team. I remember going to watch the games for him, and when I met him he was signing autographs at a car dealership. I was there in a heartbeat! He stood up so I could shake his hand and the man was shorter than me! I was a little taken aback, but still happened to mumble to him: You’re so sexy.
Candice says
MOORE ME! I have autographs from some smaller-name bands and some baseball players. No autograph, but I did stay in a B&B with Ted Danson once. Just me, a co-worker, and Ted Danson. :) Would love to win this as I’m currently living in our new, beige house and my name is Candice.
Laura says
Moore Me! I want to redo my bathroom (from raspberry pink to a light teal) and this would really help with that!
Best autograph: I met Kim Zmeskal (US Gymnast for 1992 Olymipcs) on a train in Italy just a few days after the Olympics and got both her autograph and help on getting to the right train in Milan…

My most beloved autograph is a signed note from a former first-grade student. I was teaching him English and he wrote “I love you” in English on one side and “te quiero” on the other. I encased it in packing tape to preserve it. :)

Carrie says
MOORE Me!

MOORE ME!
Coolest autographs I ever got were from Brandi Chastain and Mia Hamm after a game in Chicago (2001). What made it even better is that they signed my cast I had on my arm from playing soccer!! :)

I don’t have an autograph but I snaged an autograph from Matt Maher, from my favorite band.
Katy says
MOORE ME!
I have two cps signed by Sara Groves, my favorite artist. But this brings to my attention my life’s lack of autographs. Is this a whole I need to fill or am I ok living sans-autographs?
Stephanie says
moore me baby! My very fist autograph was from “hootie”, yes like the blowfish type! Lets just say, he made my 15yr old nearly stop when he signed my tix!
Susie says
MOORE ME!
My friend got an autograph and picture from Tom Selleck in the 80’s – what beats that? My son signed his most recent crayon creation, that was also pretty coo. GO CANADA!
Crystal says
Moore me!!
My husband has an autograph from the band Disturbed does that count? Although It was a friend that got It for him, so I guess there are 2 degrees of seperation between me and even knowing anyone who has gotten an autograph……….
Carrie says
Moore me please..
Carrie says

I have a signed ticket stub from a Motion City Soundtrack concert still in my wallet. My husband and I saw them on one of our first dates!

CJ says
MOORE ME!
For my birthday this year, one of my best friends went to the Bloggess’s book signing in Seattle and got her autograph for me! I swear my husband had a heart attack when I opened the box and shreiked/hopped around the apartment!
Also, when I was a kid Anne M. Martin was at my local bookstore and signed some of my Baby-Sitters Club books.
You guys are just awesome – we (hopefully!) will be buying a house in the next few months, and I plan on using your site and book as my bibles! xox

MOORE ME,
My husband collects books autographed by the authors. I don’t know which one he prizes most, but I like one sized by former President Lyndon Johnson.
Tina Bland says
Moore ME!! One time I was in Cracker Barrel and the motown group The Temptations was sitting across from us (with some exceptions, this was about 10 years ago)!! I’ve been a fan since I was little because my dad was OBSESSED with them, so the waitress asked them if I could say hi and they had me sit with them for a bit and they signed a pic of them for my dad! He loved it!! That was pretty cool:)
sherri says
MOORE ME! Sadly I do not have any other famous autographs. I think it is time to end that, don’t you?

Deanna says
MOORE ME!
We’re big Dave Ramsey fans (I’m a trained coach and we’re FPU coordinators) so he’s our fave. We’re seeing him again in Indianapolis this week and getting another autograph/photo with him! Woot!
