I have scissors in the kitchen, my desk, and in my granddaughter's bedroom. My dh has scissors in his desk, in his shop area and his toolbox. My sewing scissors are upstairs in my sewing room. Sice I moved the sewing to the upstairs, I don't think anyone has bothered my scissors at all. Too much work to climb the stairs. LOL. I have labeled some of the scissors in my sewing room - paper, batting, etc. My really nice scissors are kept in a drawer underneath my cutting table where they are easy to get to but out of sight.
