Randomness: Update

So I had a couple questions about my last blog from a couple of different people, so I decided to just answer them all at once with one blog. Here goes:

Modge Podge:
I am by no means an expert on the subject. I do not know the definition of what it is, because I've never even really heard of it before the relief society activity. From what I gather, it involves scrapbook paper being glued to wood (and possibly other things), adding some vinyl lettering and sanding some edges, and voila....a cute little wooden sign. I didn't sand the edges like recommended because I was tired......maybe someday I'll get around to it. But here's how it turned out. I hope that answers questions.
Pregnant Itchiness:
Many of you pointed out that my itchiness is likely caused by the stretching of skin, a very likely cause. However, I have been pregnant three other times, and I have experienced that very thing every time. I'm not saying your wrong, but this time is different. I am experiencing the itchiness in other places besides my abdomen and breasts. For example, the inside of my elbows, or crelbows, if you will. I took a picture so you could see what it looks like and then give me an opinion about it. I think its PUPPP (which apparently is harmless but itches like crazy!). I have an appointment with the doc very soon to show her whats up, and in the meantime I have switched to fragrant free body wash and got some goldbond anti-itching powder (so I smell nice and medicated!). Here's to hoping I get a little bit of relief.

Cute Modge-Podge.

And yes, that definitely looks like something more than just "pregnancy itchiness" -- hope the Dr. can figure it out.

Chelle, I hope the itch goes away soon. Your dad bought me some medicated powder...He got it at the dollar store. When I first put it on it stings just a little ...but the itch goes away, but it does have that medicated smell.
Your aunt Nadine made us a Christmas gift, that spelled out our last name, i guess it was modge pogeded. I love it!

My friend swears by modge podge. She uses it for everything. We're planning on making some magnets for family night next week. I hope they turn out.

Ugh that itchy skin sounds so frustrating. Plus the no relief thing would kick my trash.
