What to Do???

What on earth does one do when their daughter who loves pink gets all blue ski equipment???

Chapter 1
My daughter lives in a pink world, nothing is quite right with her unless everything is pink. It's pretty crazy, but she's 3 so we all know the world revolves around her right? Well we had to outfit all three kids with ski equipment this year. Luckily we had a set from her older sister. However the skis were ...... grey and blue. Not a problem, until big sister came home with new "pink" skis that daddy got her. So little sister, who lives in a pink world, completely rejected the blue skis- b/c now she knows they come in pink.
Chapter 2
The next day we went to the local ski swap to fill in the gaps of equipment. We needed to get a helmet for our little pink girl. Well, being 3 it's hard to find helmets small enough without spending $80. We found.....1 and it's.....Blue. Arghhhh Well at least it matches the skis she hates. Literally the same tone of blue, a perfect match.
Chapter 3
Mom to the rescue. Thank goodness for SU!!! I went to my craft room and pulled out some Pink Flower Decor Elements and we customized her helmet and skis. She was so excited. Now her equipment matches and in her world they are "PINK". She now sees right past the blue and grey. You never know when ones crafting stuff can save the day.

Here are pictures of the newly customized skis and helmet.



Unfortunately at this time these particular Decor' Elements flowers are only available to demonstrators. We can get them in bulk to demo at workshops and what not.
