Have you ever ventured out to your Mailbox preparing to retrieve the mail only to hear a muffled voice coming from inside the mailbox ..ME Either ...well I have now had that experience!!! No wonder the mail lady sped off quicker than I have ever seen before...
There inside the mailbox was a Package from my Friend Jacqui of ODD Dolls
and it was then that I discovered that the small muffled voice that I had heard before came from that box!! I can't be sure but I swear the 'box' claimed to be thirsty and hungry and also asked "where in the hell am I"??
Straight to my studio I headed to open my OWOH Winning Giveaway from Jacqui .... when out popped the fastest little creature I have ever laid eyes on ...It was none other than 'Lenny the Elf and his little friend 'Lyle' ...already, gone out of sight in my home...Now I have already been warned that this duo was a handful and pay close attention for they live to conduct mischievous deeds at every turn...well, we were off to a good start in that department. Even my dog Tess could not find them.... the refrigerator was open and my white wine open...so I knew they were headed to the back part of the house.
At last I tracked them down in the back yard (actually with a lot of help from Tess...who kept a noticeable safe distance from the naughty Duo)
I got my camera and popped a few pictures from a safe distance (right next to Tess) ...seems Lenny found our old Gravestone out back (real gravestone...no body!!) He seemed fascinated with it, a little TOO Fascinated if you ask me!!!!.... now what I would like to ask Jacqui is ...should I be nervous in the fact that Lenny has started to dig a little hole right next to our gravestone (I have NO IDEA where he got the little shovel!!)...I mean, should I be worried??? I suppose if I see another one next to this one ...I will need to give you a call for further instructions on 'Handling' Lenny and Lyle!!!
I eventually coaxed him inside with cake and Cheetos and convinced him that he looks absolutely stunning sitting on my Nightmare Before Christmas Shelf...next to Jack!! (he actually insisted that he thinks he looks 'Better' than Jack... I agreed with a wink and a nod... I think I am getting on his Good Side ...at least for now... I will be in touch soon if things turn ugly!!!
Thank You Dear Jacqui ...this little Pair brought a smile and I absolutely LOVE them
to pieces!!! Your Work is SUPER!! I am a lucky lucky girl!!
But I must admit....I intend to keep one eye peeled at all times!!!
Hugs,
Jodi

Their sweet faces may just be a ruse...remember The Trilogy of Terror doll?
OH GOOD LORD William... something more for me to worry about...well that one open eye will be Just a Little More Open tonight when I go to bed....
Gulp!
those little dolls are wonderful!
Great story, too!
Looks like someone is going to be sleeping with one eye open tonight..LOL
You have an entire shelf filled with The Nightmare Before Christmas? *jaw hits floor* I'm jealous!
Also, the elf looks mischievous! He might need a strict hand to keep him in control!
Oh my those rascals sure had you all on your toes. How funny it would have been to catch the look on the mail deliverers face. Hmm, are you sure that only one eye is needed to remain open with this pair? Yet it's hard to imagine how somethings that look so darling can be so mischievous. Thanks for the story.

hahahehehaha, you make me laugh Jodi!! I think the boys have met their match with you as their new mama!! I have no idea where Lenny got that shovel but I do know that he likes to hide his "findings" so I would be too worried yet! If you notice that your jewelry goes missing, check the hole he dug by the grave stone. Just so you know.....he can't read so I am sure he doesn't know it is a grave stone...phew eh?? hehe
Lyle on the other hand is a bit of a follower so you don't have to worry too much about him on his own, but the two of them together.....can sometimes be, well let's just say, they will keep you on your toes:)
Cake , cheetos and M&M will help:)
You may want to hide your wine though!
I am sooo please you like them and I feel good to know they are living with such wonderful peeps:)
Much Love
Jacqui
