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
