  2. Thanks Whitesnake; I was thinking of making the text mountain shaped by gradually incresing the font size, but it was a bit too much for blogger to handle.

  4. I am speechless that was so good! I loved how you integrated the letters like that!

    And the poem itself--it's perfect!

    I haven't been on blogger in a while and was thinking about you. My daughter and her love of all things elephants, you see.

    Aspiemom; I try to take the less predictable approach to the prompts.
    The elephant influence - they never forget!
