*** 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.

When my husband was deployed for a year, I wrote to his all time favorite sport’s person in the world, Kansas Jayhawk’s men’s basketball coach Bill Self, and asked him to do a personalized autographed picture for my hubby. He was so great and sent it to me almost immediately! My husband still talks about what an amazing gift it was for his birthday, since he had to spend it alone all the way over in the Middle East =)

Jace says
Moore ME!
when I was in elementary school (and so was she) I wrote Drew Barrymore a “fan letter” for an in class writing project. She (someone) actually responded with an autographed picture. You know, literally 2 years later. They sent it to the school. I don’t think anyone else got a response from that project. That was a lot cooler than I realized at the time.

Moore me! Sadly, I haven’t ever been close enough to a star to grab an autograph. I have musical peeps, but no movie ones :(

Alissa says
MOORE ME!……please I’m a total Candice junkie! I met her at a John M. Smithe furniture gallery a few years back when she was doing a line for them and she is just as sweet and bubbly and adorable in person! And oh, even sweeter when she brought copies of her then new book (Candice Olson on Design) for everyone in attendance, personally signed each one and took pictures with us! What a lady!
maggie says
Moore Me! Pretty Please!
Alex R. says
Moore me! I happened to be at the gate next to Shakira’s a few years back and ran over for an autograph. She insisted I get a picture too even though she was running late and her people were telling her she needed to hurry. My family is Colombian so it was like meeting royalty! She gave my dad a kiss on the cheek and I think he was going to faint he was so happy!
