*** 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!)

Moore Me. I got Paige Davis’ autograph from a friend when Trading Spaces was basically the only design show on TV. But my favorite autograph was from Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O’Connor because I took my one year old to meet her. I got a photo just in case someday he follows in her footsteps. And the way that 10 year old can argue a case, law is definitely in his future…

MOORE ME!
Truth be told…I was really into Queer as Folk back in the day, particularly Gale Harold who played Brian Kinney. And so when the cast came to Boston to sign the Season 4 DVDs, I jumped at it and stood in line to get their autographs. It was super-weird, super-awkward, and I can’t imagine ever doing it again. The End.
Heather says
MOORE ME!I have an autograph from the members of No Authority. Be jealous, ladies. They sang: Can I get your Number baby (hit me with those 7 digits…) hahaha

The best autograph I have ever received is the absolutely charming Tim Gunn. He is just as magical in person as he is on Project Runway.

Donita says
“MOORE ME!!!” When I was 18 years old, Charles Bronson was filming Break Heart Pass *ok now you know my age. LOL*. The train they used in the movie was parked near my office. My co workers dared me to get Charles autograph. SO I marched right over to the train and knocked on the door. CHARLES opened the door. To this day, I still have his autograph, on one of my own personalized notepad sheets. :-)

When I was a kid, my parents saw Tommy Lasorda in the Vegas airport. Knowing I was a huge Dodgers fan, they got me his autograph.
Anna Malek says
MOORE ME. Love that Candice Olsen! I got Mark Paul Gosselaar’s autograph way back in the Saved by the Bell days. Swoon!
Tracey says
Moore Me!
I was just cleaning out my childhood home before my dad retires down to Florida and found my Danny Wood autograph. Not my favorite New Kid (Joey!) but probably the last time I had anything signed!!
Caroline says
MOORE ME! I don’t have many autographs, actually only this one (that I remember!) I was about 10 or 11 and went to watch a pro-am golf tournament with my dad. One of the amateurs (but also a really good golfer) was my favourite hockey player at the time, a rookie named Dale Tallon. I remember he seemed huge in his equipment and was very cute and had long hair (it was the 70s) that flowed out behind him as he shot down the ice. Swoon!
Danielle says
MOORE ME!
Hmmmm… I have a favorite childhood book that was autographed by the author… Will be fun to pass it down to my children!
LA says
MOORE ME!
I got a cd autographed by Patti Smith in person! ‘Bout fainted!
Lindsay says
MOORE ME! Emmylou Harris, whom I adore.
Emily says
MOORE ME!
I believe the only autograph I ever got was Davey Allison’s right before he crashed. My dad loved racing and I was the apple of my dad’s eye, so I wanted to like everything he did!
Gena says
MOORE ME! Sadly, the only autograph I ever got was when I wrote Jonathan Taylor Thomas a fan letter at the age of 11… and received a signed photo of him back, telling me how much he was enjoying playing the role of Simba, and neglecting to respond to my marriage proposal!

Annie says
MOORE ME! In the state of Nebraska, we have an obsession with Husker football. So, my team-autographed picture is great.
Jenny says
Moore Me! My husband has a cowboy hat signed by Pat Green. He’s a Texas singer-songwriter; probably not your kind of music, but you should give his old stuff a try.

Libby says
MOORE ME!! I have one from Pioneer Woman as well (in her second cookbook) and my husband has Johnny Rogers’ (Nebraska Husker Heisman winner)!!
Eroca Head says
Moore me!!! I love everything Candace Olson….. I totally deserve winning this contest. Definitely a Candace wanna be. There is no one more amazing than she. It seems you can actually see the fairy dust descend as the “after” images display on the “before and after” segment when her transformation has completed. Pick Me! Pick Me! Pick me! I do all my own painting and am an extremely loyal customer!
Courtney Bordeaux says
MOORE ME!!

MOORE ME!
When I was 8 my family went to Disney World and I got all the characters autographes. It was my most prized posession for many years after that.
Jennifer says
MOORE ME!
My husband and I went to Kevin Gillespie’s (our favorite Top Chef contestant) restaurant in Atlanta for my husband’s birthday. Not only did we get to see Kevin work in the kitchen, he chatted with us, signed our menu, and took a picture with us. So cool!
Holly says
“MOORE ME!”
Val Caldwell says
Moore me! Please, Moore me! While visiting my family in Utah I bought a cd from a guy playing music outside of a mall. He was pretty amazing and I had him sign the cd. He’ll be famous and I’ll be happy! Preston Creed,
Album: Vacancy
Kandace says
MOORE ME!
Sister Helen Prejean (author of Dead Man Walking and activist), Barbara Kingsolver
Moe says
Moore me! The only celebrity autograph I have is from ~1994 and is an autographed picture of Tom Cruise. My aunt knew a relative of his and scored it for me. The kicker was the envelope the picture came in was his handwriting as well! I still have both, framed, for memory sake of a favorite actor.
Shane says
MOORE ME found a greeting card when cleaning out an old room with Bill Clinton’s signature
