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.

    Moore me! My grandfather used to live next to Bob Sagot’s sister so he signed a pic for me. I was a huge Full House fan.

    My stepmom was rad enough to snag me Richard Dean Anderson (MacGuyver!!)’s autograph when he was travelling through Northern Minnesota to visit family. It was back in the days when he still sported a stunning mullet. Dang – there’s nothing better than a good mullet (I’m only mostly kidding.)

    MOORE ME! I have never gotten an autograph by anyone well-known; however, growing up, I remember when autograph books were popular, and you would get your friends to sign a page and fold down the corner of the page and alternate each page so the pages formed a v-pattern in the book. Lame, I know, but we thought we were oh, so cool!

    Moore me! I think I still have my autograph book from Disney World that I collected Disney character signatures in. Let’s see… that was 1983. Egads!

    I met David Beckham a few years ago in the UK and got his autograph. I could barely talk to him I was so excited.

    Ya know, I can’t…oh, that’s a lie!
    Last Christmas, my bestie traveled to the ends of the Earth (somewhere in Chicago where she lives) to get me an autographed copy of Wreck The Halls.
    I heart Jen Yates.
    Maybe its the twisted Floridian humor…
    But I need some bedroom decor inspiration!!! Bonus if the Huz likes it!!

    Moore Me please!

    I have a little drawing and personal note from Joan Walsh Anglund. I wrote her when I was a teen and she wrote back.

    Thank you!

    MOORE ME! I have a ton of signed posters from bands which used to cover my walls until I decided it was time for a room make over. Now they’re all neatly tucked away.

    I got to meet Frank Warren from PostSecret (he’s really nice and surprisingly tall). I went to his talk but didn’t expect to be allowed to meet him so I didn’t have anything for him to sign. A sweet, random girl ripped an orange piece of paper out of the front of her PS book and gave it to me and he wrote me a message on that. I have it framed in my classroom (I’m an English teacher)!

    I have a boomerang that I got on a trip to Australia that was signed by this random rancher that taught people to throw boomerangs…

    I have no autographs, but I did cut the oldest brother in “Hanson”‘s (I KNOW that is wicked bad grammar) hair once.
    He was really nice. Never thought to ask him to sign something.

    MOORE ME! Call me a dork, but the only autograph I have gotten was a book signed by Donna Whyte. She is a kindergarten through third grade teacher that writes books , runs a website, and conducts teacher seminars. She’s an awesome teacher and is freak’n’ hilarious.

    When I was much, much younger I worked for a music promoter in Miami, FL so I had lots of autographed albums in my collection. Unfortunately I left them with my ex when we got divorced because I had nowhere to store them and his new wife sold them in a yard sale they had a month after they got married. =(

    My sister is a big fan of the Sookie Stackhouse books (and show), so when the author came to visit her alma mater (where I was going to college at the time), I got her a signed copy and gave it to her for xmas a couple of years ago. She was totally psyched.

    Personally, I’ve got a signed Goo Goo Dolls set list from their Let Love In tour and a signed Fiona Apple poster from her most recent Idler Wheel tour :]

    When I was 10,”pinball” Clemens, a Canadian football player autographed my baseball cap. I was a bit of a Tom boy I suppose, and was pretty excited at the time. “pinball” has an amazing way if making everyone around him feel happy.

      Oh yeah, and Keanu reeves. I got his autograph in high school. I can’t believe I forgot about that one.

    Moore me! :)

    Autographs? Hm … my mom picked up a couple of pictures of Platinum Blonde left behind at the hotel where she worked as a waitress. Those got stolen pretty quickly from my desk during recess. I wonder if karma exists.

    Have a great day everyone, and thanks!

    MOORE ME! this is a little geeky, or maybe just literary, but I got Salman Rushdie’s autograph a few years ago. Huge fan. He shook my hand, too, and I tried to be cool about it but am pretty sure I failed…

    I have never asked anyone for their autograph, but I have a Raiders of the Lost Ark movie poster signed by Harrison Ford.
