I have them well trained in my house...and my husband bought me my Ginghers and he knows how much I value them. I also probably have about a dozen pairs of scissors so he would have to go past a lot of other scissors to get to the good ones. Even my son knows better.

Here is how we all feel about our scissors:
a friend will calm you down when your husband has used your scissors.
A quilting friend will skip beside you with an Al-Kabong pan and sing: "Someone's gonna get it!"

When you lose everything you have in the blink of an eye, you realize that things are just "things". And when I almost lost him, I knew I'd never "sweat the small stuff" again.
but if he feels the same way, there are other scissors in life.

Go ahead! - reap the consequences...LOL!
