Secret Santa

[Andrea]

Hey everyone!

Now this is something you do not have to do. But I've started on a blog post of mine a book secret santa. I would really love for this to take off and decided that I would offer the option here. You can email me all the information that is requested in the blog to the email provided in the blog if you wish to participate. Right now it is the US only because I do not know if anyone will be interested over seas.

You can find all of the information here; http://booktasticnerd.blogspot.com/20...

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me.

[Megan]

I'm definitely going to do this. I'll send you the email sometime this week. Also you probably won't believe this but I will have to set up an Instagram account which I've been meaning to do because I don't have one!

[Andrea]

Awe. You could use Twitter or any other social media. I didn't have an Instagram until last year and I am horrible to remember to post to it.

I really want to do this!!! But I'm moving on November 30th and as of right now I have no idea where to. But if I find out before time is up I'll definitely do this! It sounds so cute and fun! Also... I don't have an instagram or twitter. They've never caught my eye. BUT I do enjoy snapchat and facebook!

[Megan]

I only have Facebook but have been meaning to start an Instagram.

[Sharon]

This sounds so fun! However I do not live in the US but I would be willingly to do this internationally

[Andrea]

I am starting to make a list of international. what country I'd you don't mind my asking.

[Sharon]

I live in New Zealand

[Andrea]

Okay. So if another person comes up for New Zealand I'll make sure to let you know.

[Sharon]

I don't mind paying international shipping fees if someone else also doesn't mind

[Andrea]

Awe you are so sweet. I will definitely go ahead and tweak the form.

We do have someone who is willing to do the international shipping fees. Please feel free to fill out the form and email it.

[Megan]

I sent the email last night so I'm ready for secret Santa!

[Andrea]

I am excited as well. I have it posted on several of my social media things. I am hoping it gets bigger.

[[deleted user]]

I'm excited too! I just wanna find out if I'm getting this house or not first before I sign up for this!

[Andrea]

I am willing to take a few late sign ups as well.

[[deleted user]]

Hopefully it won't be too much later. I should know by this Thursday if it's a yes or a no on the house!

[Andrea]

Awesome! I hope you get it.

[Andrea]

I will be extending the sign up date by a week.

I signed up I believe, so do we wait to hear from you until after the sign ups are closed?

[Andrea]

Yes, I am pairing people up now with the people I already have signed up.

[Raisa Alexis]

Did you get my email signup?

[Andrea]

Yes, I have gotten all that have been sent.

[Andrea]

I am so sorry that was a mistake on my part. I have sent it now. Please forgive me.

[Raisa Alexis]

I have so much going on and I am just excited that there was interest in it even if it wasn't a ton of people. I think that a small group for me doing this this time was a good thing.

[[deleted user]]

I'm super excited! I've already started myself. Slowly! Cause I still have four days to move and everything will get lost among the packing! But I'm bouncing around!

[Andrea]

I got two books for my person and a set of bookmarks so far. I am still looking at what I am going to get for a few little other gifts.

[Megan]

I'm so excited about Secret Santa!!! I'm already getting my little gifts together to send out.

[Megan]

Here's a great site with a bunch of book related stuff in case anyone is interested.

[Andrea]

Megan I did receive your email finally. I will answer it asap tomorrow.

[Megan]

Np. I just sent it a few hours ago. No rush.

[TessaMarie]

Is from the US but is currently living in Austria, so can't participate in secret sants, tear tear

[Andrea]

Alright everyone!

Saturday everyone should have their packages sent out. I am assuming there are no problems or questions as I have not received any questions.

Tracking numbers should be emailed to me when you send the package out.

[Megan]

I have to send you mine. I actually didn't get mine out until today but it will be there by Wednesday. I had some issues :/

[[deleted user]]

I sent mine Saturday after a few issues myself. Lol.

[Andrea]

I had some issues but I know it was on my part not the other party. should be there by this weekend.

[Sharon]

I just received my secret santa present! I'm so happy with it and I'm still over the moon about it, I feel as if I should've waited till Christmas to open my presents but it was too tempting. Thank you so much for hosting this secret santa! :)

[Megan]

Yay!!! It has started!!! Lol

[Andrea]

Yay! The present arrival has begun! You are so welcome and we are glad you enjoyed your gifts. Can we be nosy and ask what you received?

[Sharon]

Of course, I received four books in total :O I feel so spoiled, I even got one in German which makes me ecstatic for some reason. Time to start learning German :D I got a christmas carol (at least I think it is) CD with German songs on it. A few Christmas cards, mini figurines and a usb with all the albums from one of my favourite artists.

[Andrea]
