We all shared notes about how we hung white sheets on windows to keep the sun out when it was hot.........I've still got my lovely "set" of custom thumb tacked window coverings up. (You'd think, since I sew, I could come up with something a little more attractive, huh??)

Well, there may be something a tad more attractive in my future. I had responded to a survey about window coverings a couple weeks ago & did get a response, saying I would be accepted to the trial....and to watch for an email.

I have got to this point in other surveys, only to never hear back from them. Well, today.....Hunter Douglas sent me the directions as to how to measure my windows and where to send in the order. I will be properly impressed if I end up with 2 new window coverings! Measuring and ordering will be first on my TO DO list tomorrow when I go home.

I've got 2 windows in my room, which happens to be the room that gets the warmest.......so I am hoping I can get these to work in there. If not, the family room also has 2 windows...and that wouldn't be a bad alternative.

There will be a series of emails to see how I'm doing with the product, then after the test, I can either return them for $50.00 or keep the 2 window coverings. (not sure if it is blinds, shades or what, but the value is supposed to be $500.) Unless these turn out to be purple with green stripes and they have to be hung on circular windows or something.........I think I'll keep the product!

I'm anxious to see if this product testing/survey actually works out. I've become rather leary of the emails, as I can't count the number of them I haven't qualified for.
