I do them for people from time to time.  I do wish they'd up the filesize though. 

If you want an animated one with transition effects you need to keep it to three pics or less.  Transitions eat up a lot of file space.  If you just want something that jumps from pic to pic you can get away with five or six. 

I use CS5 to edit the pics and paintshop pro animation shop to make them.  It's really not all that difficult. 

PM me if you want me to do one for ya. 

If you have Paintshop Pro or Photoshop you can just reduce the color depth without any real loss of quality to get transitions into the file size limits.
