I found some little 6x6 notepads at Walmart in the craft department. They have foam covers, and we bought foam letters and stars and put "(kids name)'s Disney All Stars" on the front and put stars around on it (some are glow in the dark, some are just different colors). Then I took some boarder strips I had in my scrapbooking stuff and added a little strip of colored border to each page (I also clipped the corners to make them rounded, but you don't need to do that). I downloaded some Disney clipart and made stickers of the main characters so that when they get an autograph we can put the sticker of the character on the page (any I didn't make stickers for I'll just make when we get home). I will either put pictures of the kids with the characters on the other page, or I will print out bigger pictures of the characters to put opposite of the sigs. I did test the paper with a sharpie and it bleeds through enough to show through on the back (but not to bleed through to the next page). I'm wondering if characters can use Crayola markers or if they aren't big enough or maybe too round for them to use?? I tried the Crayolas and they don't bleed through, and I have a lot more colors of them. Anyone know if the characters can use Crayola markers?
I also made up travel journals for the kids for the trip. I took spiral sketch (sp?) books and covered the front and backs with Disney printed scrapbook paper from Walmart. The pack had several characters, but I took the Mickey and Minnie. I ran a strip of red white and blue starred ribbon along the spiral edge just to finish it a little, and put embroidered Mickey/Minnie stickers on the front, and little Mickey head stickers with letters to spell my kids' names, and some scrapbook stickers that said "Disney Memories". I got all of this at Walmart, all the paper and stickers were in the scrapbooking section. Then I printed out the journal pages that are listed on here and put them in the book with blank pages between them to glue in maps, pictures, tickets, all the other little bits and pieces they get on trips. And they have room to draw and write whatever they want. It's going to be their project so it will be whatever they choose to make it. I was going to make little cards with characters on the front and have the characters sign them and then glue them into the journals so they would be like little greeting cards they could open to see the signatures, but I decided that keeping up with all of the cards would get difficult, and I couldn't find a small clipboard to use with them. But I've still got the few cards I printed off, we'll find something to do with them.
Anyway, I hope you are able to get your autograph book!!

1 week to go!
and I want it to be as special as I can because she's done an awesome job. BTW, we are staying at the BC (I didn't know if you contacted the resort directly or if there was a general Disney florist).
