When my kids were little...they were told that IF they ever used my scissors that the next thing I would use them to cut was THEIR FINGERS OFF!! They heeded my warning...my son has a tackle box (he doesn't fish) inside it is his rotary cutter and sewing stuff. He keeps it up on the shelf in his bedroom closet. I don't think his wife even touches it *L* he learned from Mom too..crafty_linda_b
