I am not interested in "winning" mate, just having some fun and helping others along the way.
I am more interested in teaching others how to make gifs themselves and win. :D






Edit- Ok, I can see we are not all convinced of "Bonzai Kitteh's" skillz. Perhaps we need a sequel. :tu:

Hey Mitchell,
what about a light bulb with a X through it , (for no idea). Also a sad Red face with preying hands , (for sorry). Now i just thought of another. A light bulb balloon with a beating red heart right side above, (for i love that idea). He's another, a smiley with foot taping, (for im waiting). And another. Smiley, with arms wide open, (for welcome). & another. A hand pointing with someones name,( for im looking for , the persons name).
Wow! :o Soon we wont need to spell, we just use emoticons. :D Guess what? :?: i thought of another. A smiley with a jokers hat, (for the comedian). Oh no, :shock: i have another one, a violin with a moving bow, ( for careless sad or keep crying). NOT ANOTHER ONE, i should find another subject.
Last one. A smiley side on, & legs running, (for in a hurry, or got to go) OH Noooooooo. :o Smiley with hands in the air, (for I give up).
This is crazy, and ther's another.A smiley with eyes forward angle and hand with finger pointing going around the ear,( for crazy). My heads spinning. :lol: A smiley with half circles spinning around head ( for head spinning). Really this is the last. A red cross flashing with a bandage on top, ( for accident).
Im going now before i scream.

That waving flag (not the smiley with it) should be posted up the top on the banner headline - bottom right, under the search function. Or, move the search function down to the bottom of that banner and put the flag above it. I'm not Australian born, but after serving under it, I'm just as proud of that flag as any dinky di Aussie.

All the extra smiley's are excellent guys. Good job!
Regards

Taffy.

Last minute entry :-)

A little 'frustration' emoticon I cooked up :-p

It's a little big, so I'll try and shrink it now. But wanted to get in before the comp closed.

Hey Petra, sorry I didn't reply to you, I did however have a think about how to represent your requests.
Would you like me to attempt them all, or did you have a couple you particularly wanted? :)
Regards, Mitchell.
