Fab Freebie: Moore Candice To Love

*** 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.

    Got signatures from Cat Cora (Iron Chef), Caroline Kennedy, Eric Shiffmann (Yogi), Gretchin Rubin (Happiness Project), Joe Montana (football legend), and I’m sure there are a few other’s that I’ve left out.

    Moore Me! I would love to win this prize!!! I am currently trying to find the perfect shade of grey for my living room and the process is driving me crazy!!! So far I’ve tried 6 different samples and I just can’t get it right! Maybe Candice will steer me in the right direction!!!

    Moore Me!! The best autographs I have are from my daughter. ;-) The only other ones I have are from Mickey and Minnie Mouse when I was a child.

    Sadly I’ve only gotten 2 autographs in my life. One was a local newscaster who I thought was really cute – I saw him at a bar and he signed the back of his bar tab for me (sad). The other was when I was little – my parents did business with Kirstie Alley and she sent me an autographed picture of herself. But I never got to meet her!

    Oh man, back in highschool I was serious about my concerts. I now have probably 100 autographs from d-list musicians. Most I can’t read and wouldn’t know who they were even if I could- but they’re great memories.

    On a different note- My sister cared for an old man at her nursing home. He died a few weeks ago and just a few days ago she found one of his books (2nd hand) and inside was his autograph with “I’ll never forget you”. I think it’s amazing how things happen this way (sorry to get sappy on you). :D

    My favorite two autographs are from my grandma (her 7th grade autograph on the recipe box she made in school) and my great-grandma (on an old hat box of hers).

    MOORE ME! We got the autograph of Montana Senator Jon Tester at a watering hole in DC… and gave it to a co-worker who was obsessed with him. He was awesome and was so nice to let us interrupt his dinner!

    I had the chance to get all the signatures from my favorite football team when I was 10 years old. I still have that football on display in the den.

    My most prized autograph was the signature of Neil Patrick Harris on a postcard that I received after writing him a fan letter for Doogie Howser, M.D. I feel old admitting that!

    I’m not too much of an autograph collector, but I do have a few signed CDs from some of my favorite widely unknown bands.

    I have never understood the appeal of autographs… I guess I wouldn’t know what to do with one & would just shove it in a drawer. HOWEVER, I, like many girls in the 90s, had an “autograph book” in which I collected the signatures of my close friends/acquaintances/anyone who would sign it…. and then shoved it in a drawer, haha.

    After I had my son two years ago, I spent most if the first couple of months at home. My husband was lucky enough to get out of the house for the day, and headed to Chicago’s Comic Con.

    A few hours after he left, I got a phone call from his phone. Assuming it was him, I answered with “Did you see my favorite 90210 hottie yet?” referring to Ian Ziering. I almost died when the man on the other end said, “I’m really flattered. I’m sure you’re beautiful too.”. OMG!!! It was Ian! Somehow my husband convinced him to call me during a lull in his autograph line, and he congratulated me on our new son. I also got an autographed photo of him that says “to the the beautiful sandy” I guess he was so excited by our convo, that he wasn’t looking at hat he was writing!

    MOORE ME! I have an autograhed playbill from a few cast members of Cats on Broadway in the early 90s. I also have an autographed copy of Chef Frank Stitt’s cookbook, Southern Table.

    Moore me! My white walls need some color bad! I went to the aquarium when I was little to get a marine biologist to sign her autobiography for me (nerd alert I know!)

    MOORE ME! I have no autographs! :( But I was a professional NSync stalker back in the day. At 13 years old, my friend and I stood outside a bar until 3 am waiting for them to walk out. So I have pictures of them sneaking out of a dark alley about 50 yards away. ha!
