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.
