*** 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 haven’t actually snagged an autograph, but I debated approaching Bob Vila in an airport for one for my dad once. I finally decided not to bother him, but if it had been Norm Abrams, all bets would’ve been off.

Megan Van Leeuwen says
MOORE ME!

Moore Me!!!
I met Elvis Stojko (a Canadian figure skater) once at the Toronto airport (Catch the Canadian theme eh?). I was on my way home from a skating competition in California – where I never met a single celebrity. He signed my flight ticket and was nice enough to take pictures with myself and my entire synchronized skating team – it was pretty much the highlight of my 15 year old life.
Robin says
MOORE ME!!! My husband got the lead singer of the OC Supertones’ signature on a dollar bill AND got to sing the chorus of one of his fav songs with him! It was pretty cool. Wish I’d known him then… and had gotten to go, too.

Moore me! I once got a book signed by a prof at my school that was well-known in his field. I gave it to Dad (who is interested in the same academic field), and he wasn’t all that excited. In fact later he gave the book to me forgetting that it had come from me.
