*** 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.

My daughters and I were fortunate enough to get George Clooney’s autograph in our town when he was filming Oceans 12! Nothing to write on so my daughter took off her brand new orange converse! Yes he signed her shoe on Thursday and saw him again on Saturday and yep,he signed the other one! Unforgettable! He is so nice and even more handsome in person!!

Back in 1999, I ran into Vince Vaughn at a small restaurant in San Diego and I asked him for his autograph and he said “Aren’t you precious?” and we took a picture together. I was 12. Best day ever!

Nicole says
MOORE ME…
I have Bill Cosby’s autograph on an old organic chemistry notebook. Back in the day, I saw him on my way to class and ran up to him like a crazy woman. I’m not sure why he was on my campus, but I’m sure I terrified him.
Kristy says

Kristi says
MOORE ME!
I love Candice Olsen so much that I made my mom my own version of the Ben Moore Candice Olsen fan deck and looked for hours for every color swatch I could find from her collection! BTW- I picked up colors from YHL picks for me!

Meghan, RVA says
MOORE ME.
I don’t know whose autograph I have, but I do have an aging photo from the Washington Post, of Richard Simmons leading a workout in DC, with a 3-year-old me following along, smack dab in the middle of the photo. It’s pretty fantastic. :-)

My favorite autograph I’ve gotten is that of Ben Folds. When I was in college he played at my school. After the concert my friends and I snuck around the back of the building to catch him leaving so we could ask for autographs. He was super nice about it!

Sadly no autographs for me other than from my lovely nieces.
Sarah K. says
MOORE ME!!! I met Steven Spielberg once and he was so nice about signing his autograph. I also met Tony Bennett at Tower Records back when his MTV unplugged album came out. It was a cold, bitter night. Very few people were in line to see him and he was just the nicest, sweetest man ever. He signed a personalized autograph on his album cover, which I still have today.
Megan says
MOORE ME!!!
Ruth Ann says
MOORE ME Please
chrissy says
MOORE ME!
I had the director of Amadeus (Milos Forman) sign a copy of the movie and also had Ken Burns sign a copy of his documentary on the Lewis and Clark expedition. Do I get dork points for that one?
Mary says
MOORE ME!!! My husband ACTUALLY has a photograph from That 70’s show autographed by all of the actors- the main ones at least. Including Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Topher Grace— who knew they’d become such big stars when he got it, his sister gave it to him because she didn’t want it when she won it! I think it needs to get a place of honor somewhere, since we just stumbled on it again recently while going through old photographs. Thanks for the chance to win!!! I’m an avid stalker I mean fan. =)
Michelle says
Moore Me!!!
George Lopez autographed his CD for me a few years back…we even got a picture with him! :)
Thea says
Moore Me. So far no one but I think my brother may be famous some day and then I’ll get his autograph.
Sharon says
MOORE ME. I’m from Candice’s homeland so wouldn’t it seem fair for me to win??? On the other hand I’ve never been a big autography seeker so Mickey Mouse at Disneyworld is probably the best I can come up with lol.
Cindy C. says
Moore Me! I need paint and supplies to repaint my bedroom.
Beth Ann says
MOORE ME!
I am not sure that I have an single autograph from a famous person BUT I have the preschool signatures of my children, which make my heart melt every time I see them and the progression throughout the years.
Gayle says
MOORE ME! please….
Jenny says
MOORE ME! I have a slightly embarrassing autograph… When I was a kid my parents took me to a Star Trek convention where I got Warf’s autograph. At least I didn’t dress up like one of the characters like my sister did!
Alison says
MOORE ME! Best autograph I ever got was on my 6th birthday – my parents took me to Serendipity in NYC and Mel Blanc was sitting at the next table. He wished me happy birthday on a paper napkin and even drew a little Bugs Bunny under his name. So cool :)
Kate says
MOORE ME!
I don’t have any autographs from anyone famous, but a few years ago I volunteered for a babysitting fundraiser… I’m not a huge fan of kids, so I was completely charmed when a tiny little boy named Rupert decided I was his new friend and drew a picture of us. I had him sign his name, and I still have it.
Nicole says
Moore Me!
I secretly went to a reading of my mom’s favorite author, Stephanie Pearl McPhee (i.e. The Yarn Harlot) and got her a signed copy of her new book and then surprised my mom with it the next time I went to visit!
