http://www.gifworks.com It's free, easy and "meh" But it works for what you want to do. Also, you can add text and stuffs (and effects)

heh Microsoft Picture IT! is a decent picture editing thing... i made a few sigs with it that i think turned out alright...
here are a few i made
i made this one for someone on my forums

this was the second picture that i made with this program

and here is another one i made for our forums
the program is easy to use and pretty cheap ($50) or if you want i could send you a CD image of it

Those are pretty good for what you are using, good job man.
If you want photo editing on the cheap I again suggest the GIMP. They actually have their own website seperate from their sourceforge download page at
http://www.gimp.org/ it's worth a look. If you don't like it you don't have to get it(it's free by the way), I don't mean to force you into anything but you have some talent that you could probably expand just playing around in GIMP.

I simply use Adobe Photshop Elements. I'm an avatar / signature whore ( although I'm quite the newb still ) - I make all my own by the way. I love making avatars so much! ^_^- I'm currently whoring a lot of VG cat avatars as we speak. Yay! As far as resizing, I simply use Photoshop to make my gifs/pics smaller. o.o
