I’ve decided I have difficulty in deciding when to say when.  You know how when you were a kid and you ate candy until you either got sick or wanted to get sick?  That’s how I get when I am consumed with a mission.  I just can’t stop.  One thing leads to another and another and eventually, I’m consumed.  I think about the domino affect. When you touch one and they fall into each other until the whole row is down.  That is how I view this Christmas and the bedroom I’m creating for this little girl.  It started out with the comforter set and some butterfly decals that her mom can hang on the walls around her bed.  Then it went to the lamp that will match the comforter.  Then the curtains that will match as well.  Now I’m redoing an old picnic basket to create storage and make it match the set which lead to the photo/memory board that will go on the wall and now a pillow with matching bling and a magnetic board for her artwork.  I realize it’s over the top and I’m mostly crazy, but could this room be the domino that she and her mother have to remind them that someone wants more for them?  I’m sure you are thinking I’m missing the big picture..what about clothes and shoes, boots, etc.  I’m even more obsessive about those things because if you don’t have life’s necessities, you are floundering.  Money is nothing if you can’t do something good with it.  What’s better than relieving the anxiety and stress of a young mother?  Or helping her daughter really believe in Santa Claus.  The dominoes are beginning to fall in their favor and I believe that my crazy is going to be their domino.  We’re lucky to have each other.
