Why thank you.... everyone told me I look like "Boo" only older, so when I seen that one I had to have her..... I got it off some avatar place I can't remember where. I was actually trying to find out cute animated avatars those I found that were animated wouldnt animate after I downloaded it......

Thank you for sharing this- this is totally fun to do. But I like my avatar so I plan on keeping my mouse with cake for awhile. But it will definetly come in handy for other projects of mine.

I like your avatar too m0use. It's perfect!
