Well, it has been a whirlwind roller coaster ride of a year. Many changes, mostly good. One change: I have a new office phone number: 716-434-1500.

A growing business brings growing pains. We've all been through them and know they are both exciting and challenging. My newsletter became more sporadic than I would have liked. Ironically, one of my new services involves setting up email marketing campaigns and creating newsletters for others - leaving me less time for my own newsletter! We will fix that.

As the year winds down, I look forward to time with friends and family. As well as some quiet time for myself to rest, recoup and get ready to do it all again with glee in the coming year.

Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I look forward to keeping you informed in 2008!

Have you seen the Office Max Elf Yourself website? Here is a silly greeting just for you. It takes a moment or two to load. After watching, you can Elf Yourself to make a greeting of your own to share with your friends and family! My Mom loved the one I sent her with me and my dog Katy.

Annette Riley Web Design combines an art background and many years experience working in small business settings. My clients are small to medium size businesses, which I have watched grow and change over the years. Other clients, locally and around the country, have hired me to do updates and periodic maintenance on their web sites, even though I am not the original designer.

I enjoy helping other business owners grow their businesses. I measure my success by their successes.

You are good at your business. I am good at Web sites. Let's put our talents together! Call or e- mail me so we can talk about your business and how I may be able to help you.
