Bought a second pair of scissors

So I bought a second pair of scissors JUST for construction paper cutting-out-ing.  Yep yep.  Previously I would be using the other pair I had in the kitchen or other random places I usually used to cut open package and things.  Then I would sit down to work on the construction paper ideas that I have for videos and such... and I'd forget where I put the scissors!

Then I would get up and run around my apartment in a grand search for the missing cutting apparatus.  When I finally found them, which was obviously in the last place I looked (You know... because it's always in the last place you look), I would then get back to my project and forget what I wanted to do.  Then I'd sit there staring at the idea and not be able to figure out exactly what it was I wanted to get out of my brain and into the world of cut up construction paper.

So to solve this... I plunked down my hard earned 2 dollars and some odd cents on a brand new pair of generic Walmart made in China scissors!  They work just great.  I was using them tonight to make walls and windows and the outside of a building for the background set of my latest video project.  They aren't all that fancy, just a plain black handle and the normal silver scissor color.  But they work pretty darn well and feel pretty comfy for being just a little over 2 bucks!

Now that I have dedicated "crafty creative construction paper only" scissors hopefully I can work much more diligently and get down to business much more easily.  And... who knows... maybe some day after I'm super all kinds of successful... I can splurge on the 4 dollar EZ grip super extra shiny spiffy bright orange handled scissors.
