We used a fat sharpie and took our own autograph book. I used a 40% off coupon for local craft store (Michael's) and bought a 5x7 blank scrapbook.....(for like $4.50). It was nice to have the larger page for the character to write on.....Minnie even signed: To Ryan Love, Minnie Mouse. (guess cuz she had so much room?) but, i took the page out of the book and put it in the scrapbook with the pictures of Minnie signing it!! Looks really nice and it's a sweet memory for him!
