I'm Watching You

Post Written By: Jenny

I've decided that when it's your birthday that's when you get the dollhead the most. I received 2 packages from my sisters in the last couple of weeks leading up to my birthday; one from Sarah which had dollhead #3 wrapped up in a Target t-shirt and one from Maren which was a package of Canadian goodies, including a bag of my favorite chip which contained dollhead #2 smashed to bits and wrapped up in a note and saran-wrap. The note said "I'm Watching You" with the one eye that was left dangling on the head.


It actually made my husband lose his appetite, but I just laughed and started eating the amazingly delicious chips that are only made in Canada (p.s. Maren almost that entire package of chips and chocolate is gone).

I have the best sisters.

Get ready ladies... I have ALL of the dollheads in my possession.

There Can Only Be One

I have loved reading this last post of all the funny things we have done to each other and the lengths we have gone to creep each other out.  I think one of my favourite ways that I got back at Jenny a few years ago was when Joe and I had made hamburger soup for Jenny and Brett and put the doll head in a plastic baggie and threw it on in there.  I don't know how much they ate after discovering that.  Pretty sure it would have put off my appetite!

After Sarah and I had sent doll head #2 to Jenny for her birthday two years ago, she came to visit me at Christmas in Burlington and managed to hide this little beaut (below) in my front closet among my shoes.  It took me forever to find it and I knew it was coming!  That's the thing with this doll head, sometimes weeks go by before discovering one, and sometimes months.  Here's what I wrote on my blog:

Allow me to explain this picture.  Sarah, Jenny and I have had this ongoing inside joke about a doll head for years.  For Christmas one year, Jenny and I were looking for a gift for Sarah and came upon the weirdest gift we had ever seen.  A porcelain doll head ornament.  No body.  Just a head.  We thought it was hilarious.  Since then we have hidden the doll randomly throughout each others houses.  Well, it's gotten more difficult to do since we've all moved away from each other.  And our original doll has gone missing (or someone's holding on to it and I have no idea where it is!).  So, a while back Sarah and I purchased another doll head - a sister if you will - and sent it to Jenny for her birthday a year and a half ago inside a bag of chips!  Haha!  Well, after Jenny's visit a couple weeks back she hinted that there was something that she left behind.  I immediately knew what she was referring to!  For WEEKS I was extra observant thinking I'm going to find this creepy head in the weirdest of places.  The freezer?  Under a towel?  Inside a pot?  Mostly, I just wanted to prepare myself so I wouldn't get freaked out.  Well, just yesterday as I was searching for a pair of shoes to wear to church, I came upon this bag with this note and the doll head destroyed!  Haha!  Since it is not the original doll head it makes it that much more hilarious. Thank you Jenny.
May the doll head live on.
It looks as though even I have the original doll head story wrong in my re-capture.  But as I think back on it now, why in the world would Jenny be with me at Micheals when truly, that is more of a Sarah-store?  So, it makes much more sense that Sarah would have been there with me and THEN we gave it to Jenny and on and on.  At least now that we have an official blog, we can write these stories down as they happen and don't have to rely on our memories!  I truly do think we will be old and wrinkly and still passing around a disgusting and creepy doll head.  So help me, as long as there is Amazon.com or a Micheals in the world, the doll head WILL live on!

My favourite dollhead moments

Posted by: Sarah

First I want to clear things up!  We all have different stories on how the dollhead started.  I was stalking on Jenny's blog and came across this, quoted from Jenny:

I bestowed a gift on Maren. Another Doll Head. There's a huge story behind this, but the short version is on Christmas Maren gave me a Doll head as a prank gift and ever since we've been hiding it in each others houses the past year in VERY funny ways. My personal favorite was when Sarah got a key to my house and taped the doll head to the back of my toilet seat (good one Sarah) and who could forget putting it in Maren's slurpee? hahaha. good times. Well... a while ago I sent two locks of hair threw the mail to each sister with a letter that said "she's coming". So I couldn't leave without buying a NEW doll head for this Christmas and leaving it for Maren to find. 

So. Do we have the story straight yet?!

I can't decide on my favourite time I gave the dollhead, so here are my favourites!

One time, Jenny and I knew Maren was out of town and we wanted to scare her when she came back home.  Well, either her door was unlocked or we knew where the key was, but we got inside her house and hung the dollhead from a string from the chandelier in her front entrance so when she walked in it would be right there.  Did it work Maren?

I also love the time when I taped the dollhead hanging by a string outside Jenny's sliding glass door so that it would bang against the glass in the wind to be even more creepy!  I wish I was there when she found it!

Another time, Jenny and I put the dollhead in Maren's slurpee, you could see her face through the cup!  I just spent about an hour looking for these pictures cause I knew I had them!

Next.  This one took Maren and I a couple hours to prepare, but for Jenny's birthday we mailed her all her favourite Canadian candy and chips.  Inside her favourite bag of chips we put a ransom note with the dollhead.  Yes, we opened the bag and then resealed it with double sided tape.  This is what we did to the second dollhead she left at Maren's house at Christmas.

Here is the blog post of when Jenny got this in the mail!

As I was creeping on Jenny's blog I found some more pics of the first dollhead!

This one I can't remember too much, we stuffed one of Noah's fuzzy sleepers and then put the dollhead in the head spot.  I think we then put it in his crib?

And then this one is the second dollhead Jenny bought and left in Maren's house when she was visiting at Christmas!  This is the one Maren and I cut the hair off of and marked up to send to Jenny for her birthday!

The 3rd dollhead was bought by Maren and Jenny online.  And when we went to visit Jenny in April this year they taped it hanging by a string above Zoe's playpen to try and scare me.  I actually didn't even see it until Maren pointed it out, nice try guys!  And of course we all have matching dollhead t-shirts Jenny made for us for Christmas this year.  I wear mine all the time.  And then Jenny taped the dollhead to the rear view mirror in Maren's van right before we were leaving.  And then Maren stuck it in my luggage before she drove me to the airport.

I just sent dollhead number 3 to Jenny for her birthday!  It wasn't very clever, I just wrapped it up in a shirt I got her for her birthday.  I wanted to tape the head around the neck of the shirt but it wasn't working!

Can't wait until it appears again....

5 Years Ago

Post written by: Jenny

I almost wish we had made this blog 5 years ago, so we could read through every single dollhead event. Who knew that we'd last this long!!

My dream is that we'll never quit. We'll be 3 creepy old ladies delivering creepy dollheads to one another in random ways.

My personnal favorite dollhead scare was 4 years ago when Sarah broke into my house while I was on vacation and taped the dollhead to the back of my toilet seat. I remember when I flipped the seat back I screamed a little followed by hysterical laughter.

Why a creepy dollhead?

It's our way of showing love to each other. Wouldn't a nice card or a phone call be good enough to show our love? Nope. Not for us. Firstly we have trouble saying the actual words "I love you" to each other and secondly we prefer doing it this way to begin with. It's crazy, it's fun and it embodies everything that is us as sisters.

I wouldn't change it for anything.
