I feared this might happen since M and I have almost a year til we get married.  I have entirely too much time on my hands to think about things.  This means I have tons of time to rethink my ideas and change them.  This week my obsession has become the Save the Dates, again.  I know, they are already done, just waiting for a time and location.  However a recent discovery has me rethinking my original idea.  Why?  Because as I was browsing through a few planning bio sites, what did I find?  Another bride has a Save the Date/Monogram that looks almost EXACTLY like mine.  Okay so I used a website for my idea.  That’s fine, maybe she did too.  But it gets weirder.  Not only are these very similar to mine, she is also getting married in St. Lucia at the Sandals Grande.  You have GOT to be kidding me! (No M and I have not decided on a place but this is definitely a front-runner.)

I showed M this girl’s site and he was like “well I’m sure no idea is going to be completely different from everyone.”  Okay, I get his point, but seriously this borders on down right creepy.  I know she didn’t copy my idea and I’m sure she’s had her idea alot longer then I’ve had mine since her wedding is a month or so away.  But there are other similarities including colors and patterns.  Too weird.

Last night as I lay in bed waiting to fall asleep I decided on another STD (save the date) idea.  This one will allow me to use my photography skills.  It includes a beach pic from Topsail, where M and I met, plus it will/should help with my tripod and timer skills.  I would like to take all the pics for the new STD.  Plus I think I’ve decided that I would like our STD to include a pic of M and I.  I know everyone wants our picture on their fridge 😉

This morning I played around with paint and publisher working on a mock up design for my new idea.  And just let me say, the mock up is AWFUL!  But the concept itself is pretty good.  Again this is not original by any means.  I’ve seen many STD’s with something similar.  But I bet not many will be able to say that all the pics are kellysuzanne originals. :)  Hopefully this weekend I will be able to get M to have a photo session at the house.  I will need a few pictures of us.  Now let’s hope my photography skills can pull off a few decent pictures to use.
