...REVISITED, REVAMPED, REDONE: WONDER BOY...

As I was looking back at the original post for this layout, I realized I didn't mention anything about where this title came from.

As a teen I fell in love with the song It's My Party by Lesley Gore. It was a popular song in the 60's and I heard the song because my mom's favorite radio station was on that played songs from the 50's to the 70's. I really do appreciate this as it's given me a greater love of music that spans quite a few decades.

I grew up in the days of the CD and for my 16th Christmas I asked for Lesley Gore's CD that had the song on it. I thought for sure my mom would know who she was, but she didn't. So she asked someone at the music store for help and they had no idea who she was either. My mom eventually found the CD and it was probably my favorite gift that year.

On that album was a song called Wonder Boy. It's all about an intelligent guy, but such a bookworm and lover of learning that he can't/doesn't realize that a girl is crushing on him hard. I really wasn't trying to put my 6th grade kid in that exact position, I just thought it would be a good title for a layout about the awards he received at his 6th grade graduation night.

This was another layout where I wasn't completely pleased with the end result, so a chance to revisit it was welcomed. Even though I only changed a few things, I was much happier with the revisited layout when those changes were made.
