This arrived in my mailbox on Tuesday! Picture now, because my camera battery died and I finally replaced it. I won Danielle's floss giveaway, and WOW is she awesome! They're all gorgeous and soft and I pawed them for a long time before putting them away. (I was very careful not to drool on them.) Now to figure out how to put them to best use...
It's always nice to know that I'm not alone in my woes. When I told my brother he said something about women not being able to ask for directions!
As for the scissors: thanks to everyone who suggested ways to get them. However JoAnn's apparently doesn't ship outside the States. Grr... And when I asked the local WalMart I got a "what kind of scissors?" as a response. Once we sorted out what I meant, it was "No" and "I'm sorry I have no idea where you could get one."
So I whined in class to my friend.
Sidenote: She's a crafter! My age! I couldn't believe it. She sews clothes and quilts and stuff. (I know there are stitchy crafters my age out there, but she's the first one I've met IRL).
Anyway a few hours of my moaning:
"I can get you a pair for $15."
"Really???"
"Yes. Watch where you're pouring that @#$! chemical!"
So now I have a pair of Fiskers pinking shears.

The floss is to die for ! Good news on the scissors. I wonder why Jo-Ann's won't mail outside the US.You'd think with this economy we're having here , they'd take a buck where tbey could get it. The important thing is that you have them. And yes, we should watch where we pour chemicals! LOL!
