Pixxie you do not have to attach a cord to it, its up to you if you want. we are not showing them until we receive them, there is a list that you can add your name to it, ( i will do that for you), once everyone is "done" then i make up a list and put it back up and whoever you are below you send to that person , you have to pm them to get their address and then you send it off to that person. Once you have sent it off, type "sent" on the list so we know who has sent and who has not. Once yours is received then you type "received" on the list.
Don't worry be happy, you have your life, you are alive, you have family, friends who love you, and best of all you have me as a friend :)

It was difficult for me to attach the two sides together, and I will be the first to admit that it isn't a very clean finish. I'm just hoping the recipient of my biscornu isn't too nit-picky about small detail... I can't take the two sides apart as I'm pretty sure it will damage the fabric.

I'm sure it's a case of you being your own worst critic and that your biscornu is perfectly beautiful. :)

Still looking forward to everyones pictures though.

I had a question regarding the pictures. When this exchange is over, we are all posting the pictures of the biscornu we sent, right, and not the one we received? Also, are we waiting for everybody to actually receive their biscornu before the pictures are put up?

Once we start receiving our swaps then if you want we can put up pictures of the ones we sent and ones we received, but not beforehand. I like surprises, and its fun keeping it a secret till the very end .
