My Version of an autograph book


As you know by now, we love going to Disneyland. Every time we go, we see all the kids in line waiting for the characters to sign their autograph books. That got me thinking... what can I create that is like the autograph books (I love the idea), but more personal and individual.
I thought about it for a bit and here is what I came up with.

I took all the pictures I had of Hannah with all the characters over the last year. Most of the photos had Hannah in them. (There were just a few that didn't have Hannah, but they were still photos I took of the characters in the parade, so they were still unique.) I printed the pictures out on postcards from Moo. We got 20 postcards for $20. We then had the characters sign the back of the postcards.

The characters loved them. They got to see "themselves" with Hannah. They loved looking at the photos. And not just of themselves, but of the other characters. That is where Tigger saw Aurora and proclaimed his love. Eeyore loved looking through all of them as did Chip and Dale. Hannah loved every minute of it. She would see a character and say "Mom, we need to get them to sign my picture." It was an important objective each day at the park.

We got about half of them signed. So, yet another reason to return to Disneyland. We have to finish our quest!
