Mrs. Mecomber’s Scrapbook

Looking for window coverings? I found an outstanding company that sells discount window blinds and more. I’m very impressed with the quality of the website. I don’t know about you, but when I did my first several online shopping transactions (ten years ago now!) I was quaking more than a bowl of jelly! It seemed so unreal, typing in my credit card information to buy something I couldn’t tangibly touch or see. After ten years of online purchases, I have never been disappointed. I am more and more impressed with the convenience and safety of buying things online. Of course, I am always looking for reputable, quality companies and I go back to them.

ShadesShuttersBlinds.com has an excellent website. They even have a telephone number and a blog! Talk about customer service! Plus, they have a terrific selection of cheap mini blinds and a gorgeous shade design selection. The Roman shades are exquisite. Roman shades are my favorite. I cannot sew them very well, so I’ve been on the lookout for some good deals. Aren’t these beautiful?

The company will even mail out little sections of fabric for the customer to see it and feel it. Such incredible customer service is unsurpassed, in my opinion- wow! The blinds are also American made.

The blog is very informative. I am in the middle of a huge renovation project on my house, so I have been keen to websites that offer quality products and information. The blog is very readable, and mentions upcoming sales, too.

The Internet has opened up a huge “window” (haha) of opportunity for us. We can literally buy things “wholesale” and at deep discounts, whereas years ago we were at the mercy of the middleman retailer and his “sales.” Finding a quality company is notable. Check out ShadesShuttersBlinds.com if you are in the market for affordable and beautiful window coverings, or check out their blog for information. This is an excellent company, and they will be receiving my business in the future. I’ve gotta get those walls and windows up first, however!

It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for quite a while– I have a video and I just want to capture one frame (that, and buy a huge lcd monitor, but that’s for another day!). Up until now, I haven’t seen any free software for this. But I came across something called Virtual Dub. My Online Discoveries has done an excellent review with screenshots, and I don’t think I can improve on it.

Basically, this little software program slices and segments still photos from your video files, and you can view them within a file. The program looks good, and is in my “programs to download” list. If you try it and like it, let me know!

Oh I am so bad! I haven’t updated this blog in quite a while! I do try to blog a post at least every other day on all my blogs. I’ve been very busy with spring’s arrival, and a few other blog-building projects. I’ve got some things bookmarked that I want to discuss, and I also have several reviews coming up. And I bought a new printer that I absolutely love! I’ll have more on that very soon.
