How many pairs of scissors do I have??
How many pairs of scissors do I need?
For the Valentine’s party, I started rounding up all my scissors. And I was seized by dismay, at all the ones I found!
First, the regular blades.

Plain ole blades
And the “unofficial” barber scissors, that aren’t sharp enough anymore to be reliable for hair.

Poor old “decommissioned” barbering shears
Then, the fancy blades that cut a pattern.

Oooooohh! Fancy!
And oh yeah, my kitchen shears.
And the orange ones.

Good ole gardening scissors
I used them to deadhead the roses, since they don’t work very well on paper anymore. So, they’re my official gardening scissors (now anyway)
Annnnd, 1 more pair- my “official” barbering scissors. Which I couldn’t find when I was hacking up my hair!

My “official” barbering shears. Where were they 2 months ago??
Oops! I forgot the ones in the pencil cup!
And, I guess I have to include my sewing/quilting scissors.

Titanium even! Oooohh- fancy!
But, don’t you try to use them to cut anything else! You’ll draw back a nub, mister!
So, I have __14__ pairs of scissors. Does that mean I’m hoarding them?? But which ones do I give away??? I need them all!! wailing and gnashing of teeth
HaHA! That is some scissor collection, Melinda, and I love it that the majority of them are purple too! 🙂

Why does having 14 scissors mean you “have” to give some away?

Good point! But, I’m trying to purge, and I think 14 pairs “might” be a bit excessive for 1 person. Maybe I need to take a vote on it? lol

I think I only have about 11 pairs, so surely that means I’m not hoarding them, right?

I didn’t count how many I have, and I’m not going to! I had a set of those titanium scissors in red – the handles all died and the nuts kept over tightening – just awful. Well obviously you’re allowed to keep those ones that are different shapes, and a pair of hair scissors and a pair for paper and a pair for gardening and some snips and a pair for fabric. How many’s that? Oh and a pair for the kitchen. 9? Surely that many is allowed?

I think I have to agree with you there. They are for all different purposes! Can’t use my garden scissors in the kitchen!!
How long was it before your titanium ones died??
