Avatars

Some of you have the cutest/coolest/most fun avatars.
Wherever do you get them?
I've had fun with Photobucket.com, but that's about all that I've found for images. C'mon, share.

Cil...the illustrious Miss Kitty was a gift from my secret avatarian!! I am a lucky lucky kitty cat!

Most of them are personal photos, I think.

I happened upon Roger by accident. I did a google search on Roger The Rabbit gifs and found it that way. Try a gif search.

Most of mine are photos, though I have borrowed several from my husband's work. He's in the art business. I'm sure I'm creating copyright infringement daily...

Pssssssssssssssssss! Actually jdarg....you are correct!!!!

I found my avatar in a magazine article. I think the story might have been something along the lines of "fear of putting on bathingsuit..." :funn:

Most of mine are personal photos. Or, if I Google someone that I think is attractive, then I use it!

Mermaid, yours is my favorite! But I salute all of your avatars.
Peapod, yours are indeed artistic.
I've perused google's image search as well. I guess the ones I find are always too big or something, and I'm afraid I am a bit technologically-challenged.
I will try to keep working on it; it's one of those things that I always appreciate but don't spend enough time on.

Cil, anything in particular you're looking for? I love to play personal shopper... ;-)

Hey, look who I found--a Christmas mermaid!

I love her! Surely "someone" will want to use her this season.

Love it!

I tried to use the Christmas Mermaid, but when I tried to put it as my avatar I was told that it was too big. Isn't 44. 0KB okay?

Cil, you have to reduce her to 200 x 200 to use her. At least, I think you can't go any bigger than that.

RO, I thought you might like this one:

My son helped me figure this out. I am such an idiot with this stuff.
Those toasting snowmen are adorable! Please keep them coming!

I have one from my husband's work, titled "Mod Holiday," that would be perfect for shakennotstirred, if he'd give up the Steelers.

Pea....you are so good at this avatar stuff! But don't go messing with Miss Kitty....she scratches!!!

This is so much fun playing with avatars! I like that holiday mermaid, Peapod. I have to tell you this funny story about mermaids. In our condo, I have a mermaid plaque that says "mermaid cove." I also have a handmade glass mermaid that's in the kitchen, and a vintage Italian mermaid poster near the dining room table. They're all different and (to me ;-) ) interesting. So when I found a mermaid shelf at Lily Pads, I bought it to keep all the other mermaids happy. I thought I was so smart to have a recognizable decorator theme going in the condo! That is, until I told my teenage daughter, who promptly said "Stop it Mama with all this mermaid stuff! You're going to scare people away. They'll start thinking you're like those crazy old ladies that have a million cats around..."

OUCH OUCH OUCH! Out of the mouth of babes! No more mermaids in the condo!

Oh, I can Google and Blingo with the best of them! ;-)

WOOHOO! I did it. I changed my avatar. As you assume I am not the most tech savvy....but am growing.

It's nice to have a non-threatening atmosphere in which to learn this stuff.

I don't think I have any mermaids, other than a drawing I made as a child that my mom saved for me.

The only thing I really "collect" is vintage postcards. Maybe I can find a mermaid one.
