Success!

Ok, today was a good day and so I just need to exclaim about it! Some of you may remember in my new years resolutions that 2 of them were fairly ambitious, basically that I would...

-Start my own graphic design business
-Move to a new place, preferably my first house (ownership)

Well I\'ve been working my butt of on that first one for the last 3 weeks (one of the reasons why you haven\'t seen a lick of painting from me in that time), and yesterday I finished my first major graphic design project for my and first and probably biggest continuing client (big enough that I could only have them and do very well). And today I got the reaction from them, that I did a great job and that I\'ll definately be used by them on an ongoing basis like I had hoped. Basically it means the business is a success! and that not only will I be able make back the start up costs but will actually be able to support myself well doing something I enjoy and being my own boss!!! (although I\'ll be keeping the suit wearing job for a while still for a while).

This is such good news that I went out and looked at houses in my area and may now be making an offer in the next couple weeks. Maybe also end my days of renting!

I\'m just thrilled! Now it\'s time to go out and celebrate! (and I\'ll be free to do a ton of painting now this weekend as well! which I\'m super excited about, if I remember how anymore!)

thanks everyone! getting to be artistic while being paid is the best! And it affords more minis, and hopefully mini painting time as well eventually. :)

@shadzar funny you say that, some of my other new years resolutions were new brushes and new paints (which I haven\'t done yet)

@Tab no hurry on the soulmate, I think it will be a little while before I focus on that again. So far being able to focus on only Eric and get myself in a good place has been rewarding. A little more of that before switching back.

I wish the best to everyone here :)

It\'s actually VERY boring, just doing conference brochures in pharmaceuticals, it\'s really marginally art, more satifying because it is still an act of creating. Although they\'ve given me the freedom to \"make it look good\" so I get to figure out new and interesting ways to do that brochure to brochure. It\'s so it\'s basically \"corporate art\" but it pays better, and should give me the freedom for the real artistic outlet, the minis. :)

DR good memory, you got me thinking, back when I first showed up and mostly just lurked around cmon, I was unemployed and was painting in the mid 5\'s. I sure wish I hadn\'t deleted all those posts now!! Although I\'m glad to forget about the unemployed days :D

Big congrats, Eric! Getting your own place is something I highly recommend. Beats renting, despite the cost. Now get started on your GD entries! :D ... and some other stuff as well, so you have something to show us in the mean time. I would have a drink for you, but I\'m at work and it\'s not even 10 in the morning, yet. Maybe later... lol

@Anja
You can use the Member List function and search for all post by a particular member. I guess they are sorted chronologically...
