*** 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.

MOORE ME!
I got ani difranco’s autograph years ago.
Joylyn says
MOORE ME! I’ve never had anything autographed before, so this would be an awesome first! In the spirit of autographed fun, I think my brother got an autographed Ken Griffy Jr. card (when he was first with the Mariners). I think it’s probably worth less now than it was back then, but he loved it when he was ten.
Laurel says

MOORE ME!!
My cousin knew I was a huge Mike Meyers fan and had a friend that did some writing with him. She gave me an autographed pic of him dressed as Austin Powers and it said “Tami, Oh Behave!” Gotta love it!
Tami says

MOORE ME! My mom used to take me to book fairs when I was a kid to get my copies signed by local authors. It was pretty big time for a 10 year old!
Susan says
Moore Me!
I once had a hug with Scott Baio picture at the mall. I was 12, I stood in line, and was really looking forward to it. I walked up to him and froze because I realized…he was a complete stranger. He was very kind but gave me kind of a deep hug, deeper than the girls before me. I was kind of mortified! I guess that’s a good thing for a 12 year old!
Jen says
MOORE ME! I have the Foo Fighters’ autographs!

Moore Me!!!
I got an autograph from Chris Isaak. He was sweet and super sexy.

Judy W. says
MOORE ME! Benjamin Moore is my favorite local paint store; I even put them on my Pinterest page (http://pinterest.com/revjudyw/products-i-love/). And we’re about to take on our bedroom as the next DIY project, so your giveaway would be perfect for us.
As for signed books, I’m in favor. I always get a signed copy if at all possible. My latest is “Active Hope: How to Face the Mess We’re in Without Going Crazy,” signed by my dear friend and mentor, Joanna Macy, who gave an author reading at my church here in Portland, OR recently.
Lindsay says
MOORE ME! I was Angelina’s stand in in Mr. And Mrs. Smith… I still have their cast party invite – we raced go-carts!

Liz R says
MOORE ME!
Hmm… I don’t think I have any autographs myself, but my son has a baseball autographed by Bucky Dent. But I’m a big fan of Candice, and Aura paint, and my bedroom desperately needs some work!
Whitney says
Moore me! I got the signatures of Matchbox 20 when I was 12 or 13. I thought my heart was going to jump out of my chest!

MOORE ME!
My husband went on a business trip to Dallas and sent me a smartphone picture of him “after a long day of meetings” grinning like a fool in front of two Cowboys cheerleaders. He claimed he was just thinking of us…brought home an autographed photo of the girls to my 8-year-old son. Ha! P.S. I love Candace.

cyndee anthony says
Moore me. At the tender young age of 10, I met Jayne Mansfield, when she was at the opening of Cutler Ridge Shopping Center in Florida. It was a big deal to me and is the only celebrity autograph I have ever gotten.
maggi says
Moore Me! Ms. Teen Usa in 1988 signed my autograph book. In middle school they give you a autograph book for all your friends and teachers to sign. Everyone folds the colored pages different ways and then there were funny rhymes people put according to what number page they signed. Sadly I might still have those.
Rosemary says
MOORE ME! In my life before kids, I used to go to tons of concerts. The best was when it was someone great before they got famous and you could get autographs so much more easily. My 2 favorites would probably be Josh Groban and Michael Buble!
