Who Let The Dog's Out!!!!!

Or should I say ....Who let the dogs stay In?

Guys and Gals.

I love the pooches much as anyone, but I gotta tell ya. One of our most common calls for blinds and shades failure is due to the familiy pet.

When my son was young we had a great beauty we called Christy. Short for Christmas Surprise. Christy was a young black and white Dalmation pup. One Blue one Black eye. We understood she would never be a show dog but her pup's might. Talk about a great Dog! Oh!!! Christy was balistic....Sooo much the fit lean machine that one will see in the shows. Sooo, much the apple of my son's eye. Yet, Christy, like many was curios, mischievious and just plain O'l wanted to be in the middle of things.

My point being...............Pets can be among the number 1 reason for blind and or shade failure. Oh, they never mean it and we can never really blame them, but !!! When we go away for the weekend or that Great Vacation...they feel sooo alone and even though we have someone come over to feed them and play with them....We'll....it is just not the same. The family pet wants the Family.

Okay, here's the deal. No one can warranty your blinds against pet destruction.

I can offer some thoughts.

Routeless blinds, will allow for the removal of each slat and replacement slat by slat. Still! If the one in question devours the strings...of said blind or shade...well...it's History.

My best advice..........Love um....take um to a friends or to an animal spa for those those short trips.

GEES...........we can't get upset with UM! We just Love Um Too Much!

Yet...we love our window treatments too!

Love and or leave Um...your wood blinds and shades will tell.

They don't mean it....Sooo, should you find your blinds and shades detroyed......we offer replacements. Be sure to get new color samples for fresh a compararison to the old existing color or to the wall color you now have.

It's tough!, but bite the bullet and forgive the family cat or dog. Were here and you can always replace the window fashion, but who can replace the Kid's favorite Pet?

God Bless You, Have The most Wonderful Week.

Celebrate Memorial Day 2008

Hey Friends,

I hope and pray each of you will celebrate this 2008 Memorial Day with us here at The Wood Blinds and Shutter Factory Online.

I shamefully admit, too many years growing up I never gave much thought to the meaning of Memorial Day. Too many of us have been stressed into thinking of only a possible day off work.

Memorial Day is and should be a great day to reflect on the men and women who have sacreficed their very lives so that we who remain maight enjoy the freedom of these United States. Please remember the NOT so few that have fallen that sooo many can have joy and safety in even these days. Please, by all means enjoy a picnic, day at the beach, with family at the Bar B Que...what ever is enjoyable to you and your loved ones. Just keep a memory for those whom God provided and gave there all for the very idea that those left behind could enjoy such freedoms.

In honor of the Memorial Day celebration, we invite you to take part in our White Sale! All 2" wood blinds in White will be reduced in price from May 17th until the night of May 27th. We offer a great quality wood blind product along with window shades of many types. Our 2" wood blinds offering is for a limited time only.

Regardless of your activities for the Memorial Day Holiday.....Again I urge all to give thought to those who have given their all and gone on before us.

May God Bless the United States of America and those who defend us.

Window Blinds Have A Price

On August 31, 1949, Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson announced the creation of an Armed Forces Day to replace separate Army, Navy and Air Force Days. The single-day celebration stemmed from the unification of the Armed Forces under one department -- the Department of Defense. Each of the military leagues and orders was asked to drop sponsorship of its specific service day in order to celebrate the newly announced Armed Forces Day. ...
The theme of the first Armed Forces Day was "Teamed for Defense." It was chosen as a means of expressing the unification of all the military forces under a single department of the government. Although this was the theme for the day, there were several other purposes for holding Armed Forces Day. It was a type of "educational program for civilians," one in which there would be an increased awareness of the Armed Forces. It was designed to expand public understanding of what type of job is performed and the role of the military in civilian life. It was a day for the military to show "state-of-the-art" equipment to the civilian population they were protecting. And it was a day to honor and acknowledge the people of the Armed Forces of the United States.

We take the right to sell window blinds and shades for granted like most people who purchase window treatments.

WELL....NOT THIS YEAR!

Thanks to all the men and women who have and are and will serve in the United States Military Armed Forces. In agreement with military force or disagreement you give your time and risk your lives for the freedom we Americans too often take for granted. I would like to add a special thanks to your families as well. They miss you and endure much hardship for the sake of what you do.

Please remember our volunteers in the Military when you buy your new wood blinds, cellular shades and roman fold shades. I know I will try to recall the freedom we enjoy to be in business which is largely in part to these wonderful people.

Thank You and God Bless.

Take out Chicken Parmesan and Window Blinds

Okay! What does Take out Chicken Parmesan have to do with your new window blinds. Well..It's like this....I have a favorite local place here in Spring,Texas that serves the most bestest (right) chicken parmesan. I always get the take out and well..you know good chicken parm can be pretty fattening...lots of oil and it used to leak on the seats of my other (favorite) a 1982 280 ZX Datsun....on the way home. Try to explain that one to the speacial friend who is lucky enough to sit in the seat next to you the next day.

It's all about the packaging. Eventually the chicken parm came with a paper plate under the actual container and another paper plate under the take out bag. Great! this stopped the leaking onto the seats and saved me future explanations as to why women should expect to get stains on brand new two hundred dollar dress slacks.

Same applies to your new blinds. PACKAGING is what I mean. Your new blinds are shipped in specially designed boxes to insure safe arrival and adequate protection, should you ever have a need to return the product, you will need that box! No one saves boxes anymore, but I can tell you these particular boxes will never be found at the local box store. Please save the boxes and save yourself a lot of hassel and expense should you ever have the need to return the item for repair or even moving. On occasion folks will ask for boxes. We'll they are not cheap upon request and have to shipped out to you and just an issue you really don't need.

You'll love your new wood blinds, cellular and or woven wood shades from Wood Blinds and Shutter Factory Online. I just know your going to love them like I love my take out Chicken Parmesan. Just remember to keep that box. Packaging is everything for quality and protection.

Hey!.....summer is coming so those white wood blinds are really the thing to have right now!

God Bless You and keep an eye on the Parmesan...it's good at a price.
