How cool is this?

Ansonya at Principles in Action was asked by Extreme Makeover: Home Edition to be their event planner and designer for their Wounded Warrior project.  Everything was red, white and blue.

You have to check out this post, and these amazing photos!

 

Ansonya Burke, owner of “Principles in Action” has had a great couple of months, and we’re featuring her in a series of blog posts here at ACPWC.org!

Check out her blog post here, as she was featured in San Antonio’s The Knot just a month ago!

Kelly and Clayton, Principles in Action’s couple, had an amazing wedding that you’ve got to check out!  The cream-cheese frosting on her cake… the vintage brooches… the drummers and bagpipes – Kelly and Clayton were lucky to have Ansonya there to make their vision their reality!

With the holidays right around the corner, you may be coming down off that Black Friday shopping high.

Perhaps you still have a few people left on your holiday shopping list.

Or, you may be a bride and you may have a wedding coming up.  Did you register yet?  Sometimes it’s all we can do to get our grooms to participate – but when you give them a retail scanning gun, the fun ensues!

On the topic of presents…
