Merry and Bright Vintage Bottle Brush Christmas Card

Had to report for jury duty this morn. Had originally jury duty when I was to be gone on mini vacation to Washington D.C.. When you fill out online info and request a delay here in Central TX it gives you a 1 wk delay. Was chosen in a panel of 55 possible jurors as #34 (usually here the #1 - #12 are chosen). Judge talked to us. State attorney questioned us. Then we were given a 10 min break. Took almost all of 10 mins to get thru the bathroom line. Heehee. Then Defense attorney questioned us. Then we were told to wait outside the courtroom and not leave the area, it was after 1pm and I was getting hungry since I had had breakfast at 6am CT and had walked my dog before arriving at courthouse. I should have taken something to munch on. After 30 mins we were called back into courtroom and 12 jurors were selected. 2 women & 1 man from first 12 were not chosen and instead 3 men from row 3 that I was in were chosen. This is second time I've been in a panel but not been selected as a juror.

Printed the Christmas card on my Cricut using a subscription card available with my subscription. Did not make the envelope and used the strip of black & white that was for the envelope on inside of card. Added washi tape to tree and pleased with the light ivory acrylic paint look over the washi tape as my Resist Technique.
