We have a utility drawer and tool boxes all have designated scissors. The scissors in the sewing room are off limits to anything else unless they are in my hands. When I first moved to Texas, I lived with my sister and her husband. I had a utility travel bag that had hair shears in a case. It was open. I had just walked in the house and caught him getting ready to cut some cardboard. I yelled ; emphatically for him to stop. I also asked him what business he had getting into my suitcase. He said he knew they were sharp but my big concern was him violating my space (suitcase). My son and I moved in shortly thereafter with current DH. I have scissors on my desk and on DH's desk. He learned a long time ago the value of scissors since his mother sewed.
