Comments (4)I saw a couple on ebay, auction over in about 4 hrs....so, if interested you have to look NOW....they are 6" tall and about $10.00 for a boy and girl.

Comments (13)I have my great-grandmother's autograph book. She was born in 1865, so the handwriting in it is so beautiful. I love reading the messages.

You may find someday that your own children might be interested in a teenaged grandmother. Do you have any pictures of her during this time period where you could maybe make a couple of scrapbook pages with the autographs as a background? Or DH may be ready to let it go in a few years.

I thought about making them up with candy or little personal items and giving them to the residents....See MoreSaying Goodbye to a Nice Lady
