Christmas in July Book Exchange discussion

I'm putting this here for when people want to start revealing or acknowledge if the guesses others made are correct!

Let's see if some of the Elves will come out of the woodwork! :-)

M'rella figured me out! I was Fellow Challenge Elf for some people I am or have been in challenges with. :-)

I knew it! :D

Thank you again for the nice July Christmas presents :) You are awesome!

Thanks so much for your generosity & for putting this together, Kendra.

The past couple weeks have been rough with family drama & seeing everyone's cheerful giving & happiness have really helped. It's good to know that people can still be kind just for the sake of kindness.

Few people figured me out, too. So I confess - I am July and July 11 Elf.

However, I still have one more identity that I hope to keep under cover until the very end of the game :)

It's my pleasure. I am so glad people were interested and had fun with it! :-)

Thanks Kendra for running the Exchange!

I am Lisa ~ Books Are My Drugs ~'s Summer Santa. I hope you enjoy the books! My fingers got ahead of me when I sent out the first gift without any kind of note. I was actually afraid that I hadn't even changed my name. ;-)

And I want to thank my good friend Jane (PS) for her lovely bonus gift while she searched for her "Fellow Challenge Elf".

Take care, everyone, and enjoy the rest of the summer!!!

Ha - there you are! Thank you so MUCH Kendra!! I knew I did challenges with you, but you threw me with the name which was someone else's in the December exchange...!!

Oh dear. Someone else had the name? Well, I tried to be creative. Then again, in the December exchange, there are way too many Elves to keep track of. Hahaha.

It was my pleasure. :-)

It's a good name 'cos it does reveal a little, bit but not too much :) I just need to let go of the past ;) hehehe

Melanie - Double check your email. I had previously sent you a second very small gift as well that was unclaimed :D I've resent the notification...

Thank you so much, Melanie. I will most definitely enjoy my books!

I picked for Gina Marie :)
And I got my gifts from Diane and many many other wonderful (and on occasion very Sweaty) Elves :D

Thank you for putting this together!
We are small (this time of year) but Proud! :D

I still have no idea who my SS was.

!!I was Xmas in July SS for Sarah!! Both of us sharing a cold wintery season together downunder :D

@Jane (PS)

Not sure what happened with the first notification, but I got the resend. Thank so much!! I just poste on the Goodies thread.

Thanks so much Angela. Loved all my gifts.

Now with the end of month here, I was Jane (PS) 's secret santa.

Thanks, Jane. Our wintry weather is why I think Christmas in July is such a great idea - my family even does a hot Christmas dinner on or around the 15th as a chance to eat Northern hemisphere Christmas food and celebrate my mum's birthday at the same time. I hope you had as much fun with your Christmas in July as I did.

And I was AliciaJ's Secret Santa.

Had a great time with the Exchange & July itself was pretty good as well. For all that it has been a chilly up here, the weather has been lovely, bar a couple of wet days :D

Hope you had fun down south, where I know it is significantly colder!! Brrrrr...

Thank you so much Erica! I loved my presents! :)

Can my S. S. Please reveal yourself?

Phew. I finally sent my last gifts. Had to wait until payday to finish up! lol But hey, last minute gifts are awesome, too, right?! :-)

Kendra, I knew you were my Secret Santa

...I think

hahaha. You think? ;-)
Happy Christmas in July!

Roger I sure hope that you have enjoyed your gifts! I had so much fun choosing your gifts and added a couple to my own wishlist. Happy Christmas in July.
Your Secret July Santa was me!

This is more a confirmation than a revelation since Melanie quickly guessed my identity after my second clue was way too much of a giveaway for the smaller group that we are at this time of the year. Well done, Melanie. I hope you enjoy your new books and the rest of your summer.
