I had a friend who did full-time graphic design from home (it was her own company) and it was a bit tricky. You just have to make sure that you put in your time and don't get distracted too easily. She did great at first but soon started staying out and partying until 3am and sleeping in until 2pm. Then she had to cram a bunch of designs in and have them look like she spent days or weeks on creating them. Oops. But you've got a better head on your shoulders than she did.

I am so happy for you. Now that I am back looking for work, I have been thinking how much I'd like to work from home for a while but I just haven't found anything. For a while, I did this 'project mapping' for this huge company and I could do it all from home and eMail.. so I could work at 2 am if I couldn't sleep and stuff. And I got paid really well! Unfortunately, it was only temporary and now you need a degree to do it, booo. Yay, that sounds so great for you!

That sounds like it would be an amazing job!! You know it's funny...I don't know if you're a Simpsons fan, though you strike me as the kind of person that would be, but it makes me think of the episode where Homer decides that he wants to work from home instead of at the nuclear plant by becoming clincally obese..so he gains all the weight and has to wear these funny dresses since that's all that fits. And his fingers become too fat to punch to keys so he has to use a stick..but then decides it's too redundant he'd rather watch TV and just sets up one of those little bird things that bob up and down to peck the keys for him while he sits with a beer and watchs TV. So then he decides to go out and do something and leaves the bird there working and something happens and the bird gets knocked over and the nuclear tower things overheat and are going to explode so he sees the problem and rushes over and the only way he can stop it is to lodge his obese body in the top of the tower thing. LOL..wow that was a large synopsis ANYWAYS!! Good luck - and let that be a lesson to ya and keep us posted!!
