    Scissor Queen. I would love to see how you store your scissors. It seem long ago you stated that you have over 200 pair.

    Uhh, well, they don't really get stored all that much. They tend to migrate around the house. I think there are scissors in every room of the house. I don't just have sewing scissors either. There are four pairs of those carbon steel Chinese scissors floating around here and there's a pair of those "cut a penny in half" scissors around here too. I have several different organizer things that have a pair or three stuck in. Decorative tins are always good for marking pens and a couple of pairs of scissors. I also have a small plastic organizer bin on my sewing desk with several pairs. I have one fancy pen/pencil holder from my tax days that's perfect for scissors. And of course they're just parked here and there.

    I'm not sure I could even count them anymore. Every time I try I'll find several pairs that I missed and end up losing count.

    Wow! Looks great! I thought the before picture was mis-labeled and I would have been thrilled if it was my after picture.

    Okay, that's it! I'm earmarking this post so I can show my hubby the next time he has a fit over sewing "stuff." Of course, I have way more stuff than I could ever use, but THAT is not the point! 200 pairs of scissors....now that's having a good point! (sorry I couldn't resist)
