Well--wonder what I got done this month????

This month's color was orange--

And while at Sues someone handed me an envelope with these in it--

Someone had heard my store about my pink handled ones being stolen here--
and replaced them--Thank you--
then 2 days later when I went downstairs--
I found that someone had returned my scissors--how funny???????
