And here's something else, but the rules say only ones you make yourself - so this one shouldn't count (but I like it, so I just want to show it to you).

So far I only entered one (the peace smiley is taken off some site - and doesn't count, because I didn't make it myself).

OK - here are two more done by me:

Ghostbuster - http://www.abandonia.com/~sebatianos/ghb.gif

Idea - http://www.abandonia.com/~sebatianos/idea.gif

http://img220.echo.cx/img220/623/choc51yk.gif chocolate - hopefully you can identify it as chocolate (I kept it to 20* height because greater would delay text lines)
http://img220.echo.cx/img220/2698/cookie0an.gif I don't know if this cookie breaks the rules...

Just a little advice,and I am sorry if you will see this as spam but: This forum really lack- thank you- smiley. :ok:
