Living where we live can sometimes be scary. If you don’t already know, we live in the “Silicon Valley“. Home to not only high-tech companies, but home to earthquakes as well. Yes, it’s true that we literally live in between Apple and Google; however, living here can really shake up the place.
The big blue square is the epicenter of the quake.
Not too long ago, we had a fairly small earthquake, but small enough to be felt. Maui and Hilo started barking erratically. All of a sudden it sounded like a big truck or train had hit our house. The house started to shake, and there was rumbling all around me. I ran to get my jacket, so we could go outside, and all of the neighbors’ dogs were barking too. It didn’t last long, but it was definitely a loud rumble. Since then, I swear I’ve been feeling little quakes here and there. Thank goodness, it was just a small one; it released a lot of tension in the California fault lines. 
On a completely different note, I officially can share my layout as the Sketchy Thursdays guest designer for January. Make sure to head on over to the blog, and check out all of the inspiration from the rest of their DT. Below is the sketch and my take on it:
Also, make sure to head on over to Ideas for Scrapbookers. Today, I got to post a couple of tips and ideas on your ribbon stash. You might find some of these helpful if you’re a ribbon hoarder like me. *wink*
Zutter just announced that they are releasing two new tools at CHA this month! I can’t wait to get my hands on them. Check this out:
Want to see what these cool new toys do?! Check out the Zutter blog to read more about it, but beware because you’ll most likely want to add it to your wish list. Know that I warned all of you! 
Speaking of CHA, if you’re going, I want to know! Perhaps we’ll bump into each other.
Happy Thursday!
Hugs,
sarah.
