I was laying in bed this morning thinking that I really didn't want to get up yet and my house started to shake!  Anyone else from Utah that felt it?  I live in western Davis county and immediately knew that it was more than F-16's rattling the house (we live west of an air force base).  Luckily, it was short and non destructive here.  Apparently the earthquake was 6.3 and centered in Wells, Nevada just to the west of us.  What a reminder that Utah is earthquake territory!  I think you get complacent after a while and you always think it won't happen here, but I'm sure we're due for something big!  Eery!

Here is a freebie for you:

The file size is a  little large on this one, but it has glitter and I just couldn't resist!

Also, the sale on my double templates won't last much longer.

And, my sister had this on her blog and it's just to good to pass up!  I love watching "The Office" when it's not crude.

 

Thanks for the comments!

Wow, never been in an Earthquake, at least that I could feel. Thanks for the templates. Left you some love over at DST ISO thread. :)

It's been since 2nd to 5th grade since I lived in earthquake territory and I can still remember it! Glad you are safe.

Love this! Thanks...glitter and all!

Glad to hear you are safe! :D This template looks great - thank you! will try to download it later today right now it's telling me it will take 5 hrs to download. I know it's not that big lol

Andrea said...

Wow, 5 hours? It's 17 MB which isn't terribly big.

great template, and funny clip. thanks for sharing both. i grew up in san diego, so i guess earthquakes don't shock me much. i've never had an actual earthquake wake me up - a sister freaking out in her doorway, yes; an earthquake, no.

glad everything was ok for you, i know utah is not as used to (therefor not prepared like SD for) earthquakes. hopefully the government will start doing something about that. i scrambled home one day after seeing on the news about one there with a mine collapsing, had to call my friend there.

Thank you so much for all your wonderful templates. :-)

Scaaaaaarrry......I don't wanna live where the ground shakes, or swallows up stuff. If a hurrican is coming at us, I can run away from, but not an earthquake.
Thank you for the woooooonderful template, it is awesome. It is so worth the big file size, it's purrrdy! I'm actually gonna do the template challenge at GDS. I've got my pictures all picked out, now I just gotta find just the right kit to fill it up with. :)

I didn't feel the earthquake, although many our (Logan)area did. Thanks so much for this template. I always enjoy your templates. You are very talented!
Thanks again!

I live in Provo and I didn't feel a thing.

Glad the quake didn't leave you shakin' in your boots this morning (read about it online.)

Thanks for another great template, Andrea. You're still the best!

Jeanann said...

Thanks, what a great template! I lived in Tokyo for two years and I know what it's like to feel earthquakes every once in a while.

Didn't feel anything in Orem! Thanks!

Thank you for the wonderful template as always. Hopefully I'll be able to DL it; been having VERY slow download speeds the last couple of days.

I'm glad the earthquake caused no harm. It reminded me of that mine collapse where some said it was an earthquake and others said it was because of faulty mining practices. Makes you wonder.

Thanks again. :)

Hey thanks for the templates! This is so random, I just read in your blog that you live in west davis county, and I live in Syracuse Utah! Ha. What a small world it is!

Bonnie said...

I am glad you are ok after your earthquake. I have never been in one before and I am 100% ok with that. I lived through a few hurricanes when I lived in Florida, but now I am in Texas and I only have to worry about severe thunder storms, flooding, and tornadoes.

I love this template. Thanks for sharing it. Anything with stars is a hit with me, I bought all of your stars galore brag books and other star templates. Thanks for all you do. Kiss that baby of yours from all of us.

Thanks for the template.
I didn't realize that Utah was earthquake territory... I've never experienced one here in BC.

Earthquakes - wow! Glad to hear everyone is safe.

Love stars! Thank you for the fab template. :)

Thanks for the template. Glad you were fun in the earthquake. I'm having problems getting it to download while the website is still open. I have to click on link then close the website and then it will download. Not sure if why.

As always thanks for yet another great template. It's crazy about the earthquake. Just a little north in Weber county we didn't feel a thing. So bizarre that you can feel it in one place and not to far away not even know something happened.

Cami said...

You must live close by. I live in Clinton but I didn't notice it, but then again, I probably would have just thought it was from that huge grey plane they fly around all the time.

Andrea said...

Hey, I know that huge gray plane...the one that makes your windows rattle and if you're talking on the phone you have to say..."Just a minute!" LOL!

Mady said...

Merci encore un magnifique template

eb2177 said...

That clip is so funny! Thanks for sharing it. I'm so sad that I missed the template! It looks great! Glad that you and yours are all alright after the shaking. :o)

BECCA said...

My Little Ironies

  • I just had to tell my daughter that there was little probability that she could do eighty chores in two hours and 10 minutes to earn a giant lot of pet shops on Ebay that she wants to earn before the auction closes. That's at two chores per dollar. :)
  • We are helping my father sell an old vehicle and what do we find in the glove box...an unused 12 guage shotgun shell...that's my Dad!!
  • How does a three year old end up at church with no underwear on, especially when you dressed him and you know he had underwear on at one point during the morning?
  • The root of all toilet clogging evil is apparently a ball point pen and it's nearly impossible to dislodge one of those from the inside of a toilet.
  • You know you have to do some serious laundry when you actually consider wearing your 11 year old daughter's Hannah Montana shirt.
  • My 6 year old daughter got a comb stuck in her hair and we had to cut the comb into little bits to get it out of her hair.
  • My kids keep breaking the toilet seats! I guess I need a bulk package of those too!
  • Chocolate chips are not a food group.
  • My toilet seat says "Hailee" on it!
  • If there's work to be done, all of the kids need to use the bathroom or get a drink.
  • All two-year-olds think the baby swing is for them!
  • When you have 6 kids, carpet is your enemy!
  • You know you have a large family when your grocery receipt is 4 feet long.
  • The toilet is clogged and my husband found a plastic easter egg in the pipe.
  • My daughter just asked me if she can put chocolate sprinkles on here melted cheese sandwich (really???)
  • I burned up another hard drive on my PC! Can I buy a bulk package of those too?
  • Well actually, my sand pile is full of socks and silverware!
  • My sand pile is full of socks!
  • The key to my treadmill is missing again...can I just purchase a bulk package of them???
  • I fixed my daughter's glasses with JB Weld!
  • I have a pile of sand on my leather couch.
  • My daughter lost her glasses in the snow on the way home from school in January. Someone found them in March and turned them into the school office! Amazingly enough, the school remembered we lost them in January. Wow!
  • Just when I think he knows better, my 10 year old son plugs the bathroom sink and the emergency drain in the sink basin to soak his grow creature, turns on the water, and forgets about it until we notice water flooding out from under the bathroom door! And yes, he locked the door so no one would bother the grow creature!!
  • It's time for another worn out pair of the hubby's pants to disappear! Aren't kids suppose to be the only ones who are attached to clothing?
  • My 4 year old says she needs "peace and quite"!!!!!
  • My Husband says there's a perfectly good reason for the leatherman being in my dish drainer.
  • I have a leatherman (fancy pocket knife) in my dish drainer. I don't know why.
  • My kids are storing a tumble weed in my garage for the winter!
  • My 10 year old son informed me that people have only discovered about half of the world's caves (thank you BBC and planet earth!)
  • My baby's car seat is full of finely crushed graham crackers (?? Little babies don't eat graham crackers)!
  • My husband's shoes are filled with Mr. Potato Head parts!
  • My two year old thinks the new baby swing is for him! He can even climb in by himself and work all the controls. Boy, does he have a rude awakening coming!!
  • I have a giant mud hole in my back yard.
  • My vacuum is fully of plastic easter grass.
  • My kids are too full to finish their dinner, but they have plenty of room left for cake!
  • I have a giant laundry basket full of socks, and we can't find a single match!
  • Miscellaneous items found while cleaning out my kids' toy box include a flashlight, rocks (no suprise), a sea shell (we don't live by the sea), a drill bit, a stapler, and some tree bark!
  • My daughter's medical bills added up to about $18,000, but we got a free sippy cup and a ball signed by the Utah JAZZ Dancers!
  • I put safety locks on the tops of my outside doors to keep my three year old from escaping and she figured out how to open them with a broom in approximately five minutes.
  • I bought the EXPENSIVE vacuum this time only to find that my 3-year-old took it apart with a screwdriver!
  • I haven't showered for 3 days, but my house is clean!
  • I have 38 winter gloves of various sizes in my coat closet and none of them match.
  • We're out of peanut butter because my husband used the rest to catch a mouse in our garage!
  • Yes, my son won 1st place in the science fair at school, but he didn't turn in half of his assignments this term?
  • No matter how many toys my toddler got for Christmas, I still find him in the middle of my kitchen floor sitting in my crock pot!
