Love the picture! When my kids were little, I had a toolbox with a combination lock with all my stuff, sewing scissors, scotch tape, glue, a pen, tape measure, stapler, screwdriver, etc. That helped alot.

Yep. My boys had ‘their stuff’ and I had ‘my stuff’ and they never touched it - even in a crafting emergency, LOL!

They also knew to NEVER take my ‘Aldi Quarter’ that I kept in the car for a shopping cart, no matter HOW BAD they wanted to play games at the arcade.

You gotta raise ‘em up right! ;)

Me: “Don’t touch MY stuff. Even if you THINK it’s YOUR stuff, it’s not. Until you pay your own way in this world and are still living under MY roof, it’s ALL MY STUFF!”

Love, Mom :)

Forget kids. Husbands are culprits, too. My friend had a combination lock on her sewing scissors ‘cause her hubby would take them. At that time there were special padlocks sold just for that purpose, but I don’t know if that’s the case any more.
