Handmade Disney Autograph Books

As many people are lovers of books I thought they might appreciate this.

I dabble in woodworking, mostly making toys for the kids, boxes, shelves and other not-so-complex stuff. I find woodworking very relaxing, it helps me gather my thoughts, calm down and it’s time away from a “screen” (TV, computer monitor, cell phone).

In 2009 we took our kids to Disney. We wanted to take our daughter (4.5) there before the magic disappears.

I made them autograph books made of wood and it occurred to me that many bibliophiles might appreciate it.

  • These are so beautiful! You're very talented :-) And your kids are very lucky! Did they end up getting the autographs they were after?

  • Yes, we got several autographs. Later when we came home we printed the pictures with the characters signing the books and glued them on the opposite page.

  • These are just gorgeous :) I hope you had a wonderful time at Disney :)Thanks for stopping by my blog. I can't wait to check out more of your reviews.
