    I am amazed at how far the Elfje has come from when it was first introduced to me possibly over a year ago or more. And too that Libby has a site devoted to the form.
    I did a whole month of Elfje, March 2013. Acrostic Elfje. Libby started that form (unless it was done long ago also).

    Thanks for your visits.

      JP, I remember your month of acrostic pieces. I always enjoy your pieces and am most impressed by the month of styles. It is an overwhelming endeavor for me. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
