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.

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! I have no cool signed memorabilia…some day!
Leslee in TN says
“MOORE ME”
Alas, sadly I have never had anything signed by a famous, or infamous person. Have I led a sheltered life?? LOL
I would LOVE and cherish a signed book by Candace. She is absolutely one of my top two favorites! I am always stunned by her beautiful designs! Fingers crossed here!!! Oh, and BTW, have always been the most satisfied Benjaman Moore paints. We have to drive ‘miles’ to get them, but never choose anything less.

MOORE ME!
I have an autographed drum stick from Jamie O’Neal’s drummer (country singer). He also wore some awesome leather pants – I must add.
Tracy says
MOORE ME! I got Al Pacino’s autograph while he was doing a play in NYC. He was very nice and I just stared at him. I’m not even sure I said hello.
Beth says
Moore Me!! I have my favorite football player of all time, Drew Brees autograph. That is my absolute favorite!
Natalie Derrickson says
MOORE ME!
I got a signature from THE Bobby Plump (the real guy from the movie Hoosiers) and my husband has about a zillion race car drivers’ signatures on helmets, driving suits, gloves, pictures- the whole lot of it.
Grier says
Moore Me! The only autographs I get belong to doctor’s as I work in a hospital doing clinical social work!
patty says
MOORE ME!
I have an autograph from Norm Abram (of this old house fame) on a circular saw blade. The autograph is to my son who loved to watch “worker man” shows (no disney for this dude) The blade is framed with a photograph of both my kids with Norm, the kids were 3 and 6 and Ive hung the frame, in my sons room and off each corner is my sons first work boots and his little tool belt that he used to wear. So cute. My worker man is now 19 and in college. Lets say I could use the paint to paint his room a more college age color ; )
Laura P says
MOORE ME! i don’t have too many autographs, but my favorite memorabilia is a photo of me and Hines Ward. Makes me smile every time I see it :)
Margaret says
MOORE ME! Can’t beat those cute drawings from my niece and nephew that find a place on the fridge.
Gwen says
Moore me!
I’ve been having fun going to readings and book signings the last couple years, and as a result, some of my favorite authors have autographed books. It’s so fun to live somewhere that authors do come through on their tours often, and to meet the people that write my favorite series. Although I think signed books are very cool (because they symbolize a connection to the existence of a real person behind the book), I like them more as mementos of getting to meet cool people, and listen to them talk (or sing).
Sam says
MOORE ME! I had a copy of Toothpaste for Dinner autographed (one of my favorite websites ever for comics.)
Jessica says
MOORE ME!!
No autographs, but I have hundreds of drawings signed by my preschoolers on my fridge!
LOVE Candice Olsen! She’s so fresh and inspiring!
Carla Mahnke says
Moore Me!
I have no famous autographs, but love picking up cool handmade art I find in thriftstores and get excited when it was signed or dated by the artist.
Kristen says
Moore Me! When I was in college, I loved a band called Lostprophets…loved them so much I went to their concert and stood next to the mosh pit with a broken collarbone (not the best idea fyi). While my BF at the time was off flailing about in the mosh pit, a kind stranger protected me and his GF from the crazy crowds…best part though was having the band sign my sling (I still have it!)
Cheryl Noble says
Moore me!! I got all the living presidents’ signatures for my dad when he retired from the military last year. Yep, got lots of good daughter brownie points!
Mandy says
You can MOORE ME any day of the week!
When we were kids, my Gramma and her brother took us to the UConn Women’s basketball games. Every now and then we’d get some autographs from the greatest female players ever to grace a court: Jen Rizzotti, Rebecca Lobo, Nykesha Sales. I don’t know about down there in Virginia, but in CT, women’s basketball is a BIG DEAL, and those are some great memories.
Cara says
“MOORE ME”
This would be my first autograph if I win…kind of a big deal.

Joanne says
MOORE ME!
No autograph ever – although I do ask my friends to sign books that they give me (especially if they haven’t written them)!
JennieM says
MOORE ME!
I have two autographs…Chef Martin Yan (I was a mere child when I got that one) and former Mn Twins pitcher Johan Santana [now with the Mets :( ]
Vicky McKnight says
MOORE ME PLEASE!!! :)
There are many signatures in our house.. including some from our 3 boys who LOVE to color and autograph (or maybe more like graffiti!) anything but paper! I’d say the most unexpected signature was that of our oldest son who decided the hood of Daddy’s honda needed a nice big ‘WILL’ written on it with a rock!
Jane Nelson says
MOORE ME! Back in 1998 my friends and I somehow sweet-talked our way into a sold out Third Eye Blind concert at the House of Blues in Orlando. And after the concert was over, the guy who let us in (who was their tshirt designer) gave us backstage passes to meet the band. Then we had the band take a zillion pictures with us and sign every single article of clothing and piece of paper we had on us. It was absolutely awesome and a great memory too.
Liliana says
MOORE ME! No famous signatures. :( Maybe I can get a copy of your book with the J & S sigs? Just sayin’ …
in the meantime I can paint MOORE! LOL
ashley says
MOORE ME! I’ve gotten Taking Back Sunday && ‘N Sync.
robyns says
MOORE ME!! I have a personalized autographed photo of the 1991 Kentucky Derby. Signed by the jockey, not the horse!
Pam says
Moore Me!!
I coveted my autograph from Mark Hamill (aka Luke Skywalker) after joining the Star Wars fan club!
Bats says
MOORE ME!
Valerie says
Moore me! I had one of my velcro shoes signed by the singer of some obscure band that I liked when I thought I was a hipster (they had a song that referenced a velcro shoe). It was awesome at the time because he came down to the audience some time after the concert was over and I spotted him first. He signed my shoe, then looked around nervously and sprinted backstage. Felt pretty special getting the only signature.
Smita says
MOORE ME
jennyh says
Moore me, please! I am guessing the last autograph I got was on a thank you card from my niece who is 11 thanking me for talking through a hard life issue with her. It was so sweet.
Sheena says
MOORE ME!!!!
faith hill’s on a t-shirt when i was like 10…and then of course all of the infamous disney characters in disneyland :)
Ashley says
MOORE ME!
I’ve got a Steve Yzerman autographed hockey puck. I also have a cd signed by Carrie Rodriquez and Chip Taylor… it was a small music venue, and my first time getting an autograph straight from the person themselves.
Amanda says
MOORE ME
Coincidentally enough, I once got a signature from Mandy Moore after she performed at my high school. Seems a fellow student had won a free concert on the radio for her to come to our school and perform. Since I was in our school’s student government I got to meet her and she signed my arm. Though I joked I wouldn’t ever wash my arm, I’m pretty sure it was gone by the next day of school.
Nikki says
Moore Me!!!!
No autographs, it’s too embarrassing to ask.
Sandra F says
MOORE ME! I have a baseball signed by former Braves relief pitcher Mike Remlinger. Instead of vacations to the beach, my family drove all over the country to different major league baseball parks. My dad is a huge baseball fanatic.
Stacey says
MOORE ME! I receive daily autographs from my toddler son who loves to color :)
Kristy H. says
Moore Me, please!
I used to have an autograph book with many of the costumed Disney characters in it. My sister and I took great pride collecting them on our trip to Disneyworld when we were 12 and 9!
Lisa says
MOORE ME!
I have two people that I have been so excited to get their autographs.
First is Bob Saget aka Danny Tanner. Grew up on Full House and it was awesome to be able to have met him and gotten a picture and autograph from him.
Second is Lee Woodruff, wife of ABC New’s Bob Woodruff. She spoke at my employer’s annual convention and I had the honor to meet her and receive her autograph.
Thank you.
Meredith says
Moore Me!
I can’t think of any autographs from celebrities. But I did have an autograph book that I brought to Disney World as a kid. All the characters signed :)
Daniel says
MOORE ME!
I had several Memphis Grizzlies sign a basketball years ago.

Jenna says
MOORE ME!
I have Kate Gosselin’s autograph. I loved Jon & Kate Plus 8, but once they got divorced, the show just seemed so sad to me. I wonder what they’re all doing now…
