INTRODUCTION
The bumper music for this podcast is I See the Moon, a traditional lullaby. Here are the lyrics as I learned them:
I see the moon and the moon sees me
The moon sees the one I long to see
God bless the moon and God bless me
And God bless the one I love

Program from the 2004 Full Moon Party at Mirkwood

  1. On the Full Moon Party Globe - looks great however there's nothing within the view that allows me to save or print - what am I missing. If I click around it takes me out to another site to download but can't do that with joining. Not something I want to do? Will this pattern be added to your Template site? Thanks

  2. Hi, Anonymous! Thanks for the heads up -- I think that ISSUU must have changed how they present files. I've updated the blog with direct links to each project file. The direct link to the Globe project is http://www.mirkwooddesigns.com/projects/globe.pdf I hope you enjoy it!

    1. Hi, Betsy -- the font is called Night Sky and you can download it free from several sites on the 'net. (Just search for "night sky font" and you'll find it!)
