apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Here's my comment. The pop up ads that cover the blog entries totally suck. I can't even see what I'm typing in parts of this box.

ditto on the ads.

oh please! i've been needing new shears!

How sharp!

I love to run with scissors!

The shears are lovely. I, too, cannot read the entire content because of the ads. yikes!

I know my fingers would fit perfectly in these!

snippity -snip!

winning would be shear joy...sorry

those are cute, like a mouse

My plants need winter pruning. I don't have problems with the pop up ads others are having.

I always end up having to use kitchen shears or other scissors that I have laying around, and feel rather gross about it, these would be great to just have one for me, one for my mom, and one for my sister!

I like these.

i never have the right shears for cutting and taking cae of my tons of plants. this would be swell!

I could use these to cut flowers from my summer container garden.

Yes, the ads do suck and the shears are gorgeous.

these would green up my thumb....

Love a new pair

ditto on the ads but the shears almost make up for it!

I definitely need a new pair of good quality shears. Hope I win them.
