HELOISE Reader wants frosted glass on door to ensure privacy

Dear Heloise: I do not know if you can help me, but here goes. I just had a new front door installed. It has a glass insert. Most of the glass is frosted; however, there is a huge flower design that is clear glass.
The problem is privacy. What I am looking for is a product that will give that section of glass a frosted look. Is there anything -- such as a peel-and-stick product either clear in color or with a stained-glass look, or anything else you can think of?
I would appreciate your input. Thanks a lot. Honey Cohen, via e-mail
There are a couple of things you can use. One is a decorative spray that gives glass a frosted look. This can be found in craft stores (apply it to the inside of the glass). If you decide to use a spray, make sure it is not an etching type that might damage the glass, and be careful to cover the other glass so it is not affected.
Second is a decorative adhesive paper in a frosted or clear design that can be applied to the window. Apply it to the inside glass. Hope these hints help you. Heloise
Dear Readers: Recently, while speaking at the National Convention for the Society of American Travel Writers, I asked for travel hints, and here are two that were favorites:
UOn long flights across the pond, bring audiobook CDs or tapes to listen to. With a sleep mask, it will be just like your mom reading a bedtime story. Jane Ockershausen
UIf traveling to India, take transparent tape to repair torn money -- it seems to always be torn! They will give you torn money, but will not accept it. Lynn Ferrin
Carrying transparent tape makes sense for any trip -- it comes in handy for all kinds of things. Heloise
Dear Heloise: I have a cosmetics bag full of free samples that I have received from information requests online, department stores and promotion events -- so many free items out there!
These items range from shampoos and conditioners to soaps, gels, perfumes, moisturizers, etc. These are great to offer when you have overnight guests who might not have these items handy. Also, you can create your own overnight travel kit with samples! Kim, Cedar Grove, N.J.
Dear Readers: Natalie Karr of Pittsburgh has a collection of large photo-button pins from activities her children were involved in. She found a couple of uses for them.
She glued magnets on the backs of the buttons to use as refrigerator magnets. She also uses them for Christmas ornaments by threading some ribbon through the back and hot-gluing two of the buttons back to back. They are perfect to hang on the Christmas tree. Heloise
