1st Birthday Celebration

Let's Party!

Last June I signed up for this site, which immediatly became Gemma's Place and has been growing since. I thought that we might as well enjoy remembering this wonderful event, so I created this 'party' with the recollection of the first year, dances, a missing present, and and plenty of food. Have fun in this cyberspace party!

History

Sunday the 28th of June is the date when I officially signed up for my homepage. There wasn't time to start it that day, but the next day I got my stone background from IconBazaar plus some pictures including the little hippo (shown below). The other pictures were the rainbow bar which is still on my index page, and an under construction sign. My page had no title picture and the font was plain. Slowly over the days my knowledge has increased, my list of pages grew, and before I knew it, it's been a whole year! I've had lots of fun, and thanks for all your support. Please continue to give it, and I'll continue having fun! Here is my first picture the hippo:

Let's Dance!

Macarena Man

Do you know the macarena? This dance is fun, and definitely worth a go! The little yellow guy above is doing the macarena, though he's going a bit fast!

The Table of Food

Of course, I can't give you cyberfood, but I can give you some brain teasers to feed your brain and you can look at this delicious cake! Be sure to try and blow the candles out!


Can you blow out the candles? To try, you will need a java-script and enabled browser. Now, get up your breath, and click on the Blow! link just below the cake while you blow.

Presents

I was hoping to send you on a hunt after a missing present... but time didn't allow it! Oh well, maybe next year. Anyway, everyone gets a present for coming, and yours is the lolly bag below. You can put it on your webpage if you have one, and although it's not necessary, please link it back to my page so that other people can come and have fun! You can either save the picture or just link to it. Thanks!

Brain Teaser Answers

1) All of them. Every month has at least 28 days.
2) 1 hour. If you take a pikk at 1 o'clock, then another at 1:30 and the last at 2 o'clock, they will be taken in 1 hour.
3) 1 hour. It is a wind up alarm clock which cannot discriminate between a.m. and p.m.
4) 70. Dividing by half is the same as multiplying by 2.
5) 9 live sheep.
6) The match.
7) White. If all walls face south, the house must be on the North Pole.
8) 2 apples. I have 3 apples, you take 2, what do you have?
9) None. It was Noah, not Moses.
10) YOU are the driver.
11) 1 pile.
