Scarlett here today to welcome you to day 7 of the 12 Days of Christmas here at A Walk Down Memory Lane. Today's sale item is a Fiskars Premium Personal Cut-line Trimmer for $20! Be sure to check back everyday from December 1st through the 12th for new sales each day! You can wait until the 12th to "checkout" if you'd like. But, when the items are saved into your shopping cart, it doesn't take them out of inventory, so you may miss out if items go out of stock. The best thing to do is check out every day and we'll combine the orders on the 12th. The first day you will pay shipping...every order after that, just click "store pickup". Leave us a little note on your order and let us know you are combining shipping at the end of the sale days!
Now for today's project.
