S_raines...I am with you, my heart just breaks when I see animals getting hurt...
Anyway, Suela is short for Consuela. My name? Andrea Cook, when I met my BF, I was constantly getting up to get things for people who were over, they nicknamed me Consuela as if I was a little Mexican maid (not intending to offend here) eventually it got shortened to Suela. I just picked an avatar, with a purple hat as purple is my fav color. I want, when I get technically advanced, to have a turtle or a pic of a WEimeraner or Doberman, as those are the kinds of our two dogs (babies).
Me, well the name speaks for it self... I wasn't to creative in setting this up when I registered... I usually go by Fireygirl due to being a spitball of fire and red head..HAHA.... I wonder if you can change your screen name on here... Be easier to set a new account tho I bet.. Anyway as to the avatar I own a candle business Candles wirh Charm and I love the character candle... I wish I could get the candle stick off Beauty and the Beast, I love that movie and he is so full of fun and laughs kinda like me! Just a silly Character as you can tell by my post! Disaster after Disaster HAHA!
Mine was one of those chosen for me. When I first started doing things on-line (I think my son called it coming into the 20th century) I couldn't think of a password for my .msn account. He created it for me, because my ever so comical DH used to say "hey lady, how bout a cookie?" which later became, "lady...cookie" then more of a command "COOKIE, Lady!" The avatar is just one from the gallery because I can't figure out where/how to use something esle.
wow, what a long thread to read..can't believe I missed this one
My nickname from high school is mouse, one reason being because I can be a very quiet person.
I used to have a white mouse with a piece of cake placed next to him, and the Lisa found me my current avatar of the standing mouse next to the piece of cake.
My name comes from the first letter of my name (Chrissy) and the first two letters of my maiden name, the 121481 is my birthdate. I used this back before I got married and I use it for everything since I have a bad memory.
I picked my avatar because I am the type of person that bottles everything up until I explode one day. Therefor, I see myself as a ticking time bomb.
how fun.....but I admit I will have to sit down and take some time to read pages 2- 10!!! 
My name came from a combo of the twins and part of our last name...."twinsline" ...7 comes from there are 7 of us 5 kids and my husband and I!!!
I chose the crazy avatar because ...........I HAVE 5 KIDS 2 being twins coming in to the TERRIBLE TWOS and on top a TEENAGER!!!!! Too bad there isn't an avatar pulling its hair out!!!!
I want one with two crazy boy avatars!!!
WOW this is just too cool!!!
OK MamaStacy is because im 4ever getting mama can you make this or mama lets go here mama can i have that ok i think you get that and Stacy is my name,lol oooo so fun. the avatar is just fun and i love snoopy!!
Stacy,
My name is from my favorite movie (Labyrinth). I had to spell it differently because it was already taken when I went to use it for my email address. So it's become my name everywhere on the net 
.
My avatar is just because I still haven't found a better one - I am NOT computer savvy.
I had a hard time coming up with something creative for my name. I ended up settling on my old employee ID just so I could sign up on CC. I waited a week or so trying to come up with something else and finally gave up.
I chose Dori from Finding Nemo as my avatar because of a scene in the movie that stuck with me - Dori and Nemo were surrounded by jelly fish and Nemo kept telling her to "Keep on swimming, keep on swimming," so she would make it through. When things are tough if you keep on swimming, you'll make it through. That's how I feel about cake decorating sometimes. 
Wow, this is an old thread! Anyway, my name is tasycakes, and I make tasty cakes. Hey, if it ain't tasty why bother? I too, haven't looked into an avatar, but I should! It seems like I'm always piping up about something on here, might as well add a clever picture!
I am part Cherokee and a elder gave me the name Raven...but it was taken so I spelled it with a u instead of an e. 2003 was just stuck on the end and I use this name on all computer tasks..because it is easy to remember. I found the cute cookies and I just love baking cookies...
I've enjoyed reading about everyone...feel like I know you all a little better!
Mine is one of the "boring" ones...first initial of first name, Carey and part of my last name, Cothern. I had no idea people had such creative names when I logged on here or else I would have spent some time coming up with something more descriptive and exciting! 
My avatar is from the gallery because I've never heard of an avatar before and know nothing about them! I would love something more creative and "me", a spunky and feisty redhead...I will have to try browsing.
Thanks for sharing everyone!!!
Wow you guys are so interesting !!!
My name is actually a mistake as I was just becoming internet literate when I joined I got the name and pass word mixed up, and since it is so difficult to get ones name changed I just stay with Freddie, on everything else my name is CookinKuki as I am always cooking and my grandchildren call me Kuki.
My avatar is what I would like to be able to do more often, kick back and have a drink or two !!!!
I snowboard.
I'm not good enough to be my own avatar, but I'm crazy about the sport.
That is Hannah Teter in my avatar.
Wow, I think it's time this thread resurfaced!! My username comes from my "daughter" Heidi. She is actually a German Shorthaired Pointer named Hessian Sunrise Heidi. We gave her the nickname Run Around Sue when she was little because she goes nuts when she's on a scent and runs around like crazy. Now we simply call her Heidi Sue! We are members of NAVHDA (it's a dog thing!) and at the meetings people usually know you by your dog, so I'm Heidi Sue's Mom!! I do have three "real" children too, all boys. But I couldn't think of a name that would incorporate all three,Vincent, Jacob, and Benjamin...No avatar yet, I want a picture of Heidi on point! (Sorry I'm long winded, I like to talk!!LOL)
mine is pretty self-explanitary. Even though I really am a big sister to 5 kids now, but my email and screenname have been bigsisof3kids for sooo long, I didn't want to change it. My avatar is very fitting- I love to make cakes for my younger siblings. (thanks for resurfacing this thread, this is so cool!)
~Beth
Lisa, the Avatar Queen, made it twinkle for me.
Yep...Lisa is the avatar queen alright...
she took one of my cakes and animated it for me....(Thanks Lisa!!!)
adven comes from "Adventure" which is part of my DH's business name. 68 comes from a friend's joke...perhaps I can post the reason in the naughty section... 
It's interesting to see the origins behind our names and avatars 
Mine is derived from X-men (lol) because when I was a kid I loved to watch the show and play with the action figures. I grew up with two older brothers, so I'm a tom-boy!! Mystique was a shapeshifter, which I tend to become... It's a personality thing! Fire, is from pyro, whom I also liked in the comics and so they fit nicely together. MystiqueFire...
I fumbled with the name "Kitty Pride" but I'm not really a cat fan... and ProfessorX as well 
Yes, I'm a nerd.
The avatar is because I love sushi.
Jasmine
I'm Becky, mine is self explanitory as well. Erik is my younger son, the little guy in the avatar. I have always used Ben's mom, my older guy, but when I signed up, it said the name was taken. So I used Erik's name.
Using the kids' names is easy to remember and the nickname I've had since high school is a little weird. (it's Weena, short for Beckweena. I don't remember who made that one up or why). Not a very pleasant name. needless to say, I try not to use it!
i am "dacaken8tr" (the cakenater) because there was an e-mail going around a couple years ago about how to keep a healthy level of insanity and i printed it off and took it to the bakery i worked in to amuse us. my best friend was having a really bad day so, at random, i read a few off to her until i got to the one that said "have everyone refer to you by your wrestling name" and she decided that would be a "good" idea. after a few minutes of thought i was dubbed the cakenater and it just stuck ... of course she was later dubbed cupcake and we became the "tag team duo the cakenater and cupcake"
as for the avatar i just love the peanut m-n-m and couldn't find a baking tigger so peanut became my guy.
I love that! if you still have that e-mail can I have it! that sounds way funny! my screen name is "its a jeep thing" because I really love my 94' jeep cherokee that my husband bought me. It is so practical! We also have a racing jeep that we race with the league VORA. To complete the phrase "its a jeep thing, you wouldnt understand" and most people dont. Ive driven up the side of a mountain in my jeep, and when it flips over, you just get a team of guys to flip you back over and drive off! I also have around my license plate "i got his jeep thing, now it burns when I pee" kind of funny and kind of gross at the same time. I dont have a pic becuase I cant figure out how to add one!
my sn is LaSombra, which means "The shadow" in Spanish. It's actually from a fantasy series called The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. The shadow is much like the dark side for Starwars...I just thought it sounded cool. Little did I know, it's also something to do with a vampire series but oh well...
My current avatar is the top of a wedding cake I made. It's kinda screwy from making into a gif though. I need to try redoing it or getting another one or something.
My name is a nickname I've had since high school, and there is a slight debate over how it evolved; I think it was because I started calling my friend MissFish after reading the "My mother is a fish" chapter in Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying" and she retaliated by calling me LaniBird (my name is Leilani). However, she says it's because one of my hs bf's looked like a bird, so she called him The Bird Man, making me LaniBird.
My avatar is Dave Matthews of the Dave Matthews Band. I love thier music, and him. He's just yummy.
All of your stories are so cute...
I was given my name by the ladies at my church. Everytime we had a study or class or function, I walked in with a plate of goodies, and it became expected. Our pastors wife one day came to me when I had forgot to bring my "snack" saying..."where is that dessert miss diva??? and the name just stuck from then on...the dessert diva.
My avitar is a running joke with my family...because I do desserts for a living I tell them..."yes, I can bake a mean cookie, or decorate a mean cake...but dont assume I cook!"
I love hearing how you all got your names.
My youngest son gave me mine. When he was almost 3. So it has stuck.
My avatar is my retreat from real life. We have build a deck around a small pond in our back yard. My heaven first thing in the am when the sun rises during the summer, and my relaxation spot late at night when the moon and stars are out. I unwind here with candles and the waterfall. (my serenity in a world of chaos).
Would like to read more about everyone elses.
