The Poll Results Are Back!

Posted on Nov. 8, 2007 by Brenda Stratton

Recently, the poll results here on the Annie’s Attic Web site went missing for a short period of time. You voiced your opinion about it, and we listened! They have now been restored, but you can only see them after you have voted in the poll. Thanks to all of you who took the time to let us know how you felt and to all of you who participate in our polls. We really do appreciate it.

Speaking of polls, here are the results of some of the polls you might have missed, not necessarily in the order they appeared.
