Totally! Here, ill explain it as best i can:

1- Dowload animation shop 3 at Jasc.com (once at jasc go to the tab that says 'free trials', fourth from bottom)
2-once dowloaded, get into the program
3-To make an icon you can either start from scratch, or a save a picture and resize it
4-to start from scratch, go to file>new>and make it 50 x 50
5-use the paint tool and the text tool (the A and the paintbrush), and if you want anything transparent (same color as aim background)dont draw on it
6-to make an icon out of a save pictures, go to file>open>and open the picture
7-once the pic is opened, to crop the image to get only the part of the picture you want, click on the fourth button from the right. And make a square (try to make it a perfect square) over the image, and click 'crop'
8-to resize the image go to animation>resize animation>and try to make it 50 x 50 (or 48 x 48)
9-to add animation, first duplicate the frame as many times as you need (right click>duplicate selected)
10-then add your different animation (stars or hearts or something) to each frame
11-to make it look like its moving make the object go up or down the picture space them a little bit a part (but all on differet frames)


okay i know this is long, and it might not explain somethings, but its a little hard to explain. the things i didnt explain you will probably be able to learn on your own. if not drop another in my box < 33
