Tip of the Day ~ Make Yourself an It Made Me Laugh Book
2:27 AM, Jul. 11, 2007
Whenever I stop by my mom's house I go to her living room, open a drawer in a bureau she has in there and pull out the latest collection of funnies she has cut out from the newspaper.
Why does she cut them out? She's making herself an It Made Me Laugh Book so that when she is old and feels like she needs a laugh she can pull out her laugh book. It will have every funny and comic that she ever enjoyed.
My husband's work has an It Made Me Laugh Book too. They keep it in the waiting room and if anyone is ever just waiting they can read all the things that mechanics find funny.
For your It Made Me Laugh Book you can include comics, e-mail's, quotes, cards and jokes that really tickled your funny bone. Decorate the outside with bright colors and maybe a picture from a card or magazine that left you in a fit of giggles.
The great thing about an It Made Me Laugh Book is that you can make one for a gift as well. Get it started for your friend or family member who is going through a rough time or dealing with an illness. Be sure to leave some blank pages so they can continue to add to the book. They say laughter is the best medicine.
Neat idea. I always wonder what to do with those little things that I don't want laying around in drawers, but hate to throw out, too, 'cause I might enjoy reading them again some day.

I have a shoe-box full of funny things that I have saved. My kids think I am nuts! But my oldest son just started a comic strip notebook. He really loves Garfield, and Calvin and Hobbes. He has even started making up his own comic.
i will add it in my project list, thanks tia! have a blessed weekend!
