    Post Very useful little thing...

    Hey, ladies. Look what I found at Dollar General to hold my little scissors for cutting those little threads. It is one of those things the kids in school have to wear around their necks to show their IDs. It has the retractable thingy. Just right. Bets those high priced ones.... Cost $5 & comes in many colors...

    I used one of those for years but now I use a magnet that is approved for machines and it sticks to the top of my machine. Holds my small scissors and pins if need be.

    I use the chords they give you at the casino to hold your cards. You can not beat free.
