Note from Darla Davenport-Powell

I received the following email from the creator of the Niya doll (Darla Davenport-Powell). 

Hi Debbie,
Wanted to send you the latest 1-sheet on the Niya doll! I tried to respond to all of the wonderful folks who responded to your blog, my comment didn't go through however, you expressed my sentiments exactly! I am so grateful to all of the support and love that everyone is showing to help get Niya on the Walmart shelf! Together we will get there!!!

Much love,
Darla

I have added a direct link on the home page of my blog for the convenience of casting daily votes (now through April 3, 2012) to help Niya get on the shelf.  There is also a link to the voting page under the New, Fun, and Informative tab of this blog's home page.  So when you visit here, please remember to vote Niya!

I would also like to thank Vanessa of Fashion Dolls at Van's Treasures for her post urging readers to vote for Niya, too.  Thanks, Vanessa!

Just yesterday, Betty A. sent me a private email about the Niya paper doll:

I was amazed when I read your blog entry for Thurs. Oct. 27, 2011 again. I tried the link for the new Niya paperdolls. They are absolutely stunning.

For those who missed my post that includes a link to the adorable Niya paper doll, see it here.
