Hello everyone! I’m “the Hubby” that Anette occasionally mentions in her posts. I am also, what she calls “the Game Master” here at M4P central. That title makes sense. I have been an avid board gamer my entire life, and I have a large collection of board games – Star Wars and otherwise. A couple of years ago I started playing the X-Wing Miniatures Game, and over the next few weeks I am going to share a series of reviews of that game here. Let the Games Begin…
Star Wars Party
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
A few weeks ago I shared that M4P mom was worried that our Christmas cards were going to be Star Wars themed. Well, she was right! (My mom is almost always right…) We sent them out a couple of weeks ago, and now I’m sharing them with you guys too.
The cards had a cut Star Wars snowflake on top, once you flipped that up, you can see the text, photos and design elements – all which are Star Wars themed. (Go further down the post to see the card in its entirety).
But this post really is not about Star Wars…. ‘cuz as much as we focus on fun, and arguably frivolous things here on this blog, we all know these are not the things that truly matter in life.
Is The Force Awakens OK for Kids?
The question I have been asked most in person the past 5 days is “Did you like the movie?” (YES!). The second most popular question is “Can I take my child to see it?”. I am assuming that anyone reading this blog is going to see the movie – so need to convince you of that 🙂 BUT, I wanted to address the issue about whether or not to take your kids. (No real spoilers ahead, but I do describe few scenes, so you know when to cover your child’s eyes)
Is there Crying at Star Wars?
2 weeks ago, we talked about Star Wars movie preparedness. The movie premiers tomorrow, and I wanted to mention one last thing: You’ll probably need tissues!
The fact that there is a new movie coming out is pretty emotional for a lot of people. And I vividly remember the day, 3 years ago when it was announced that Disney bought Star Wars…
The Hubby was working really late, and I had already turned in. Around 2 am, I was forcefully awakend by loud thumps, red flashing lights and my bed shaking. As you can imagine, being woken up like that was terrifying… a lot of really horrible scenarios involving breaking of doors, kidnapped children, robbers (or worse) and police flashed through my mind.
DIY AT-AT Christmas Shirt

And here we are, the last of our merry Star Wars vector downloads – the AT-AT.
We try to be really careful with all copyrights here at M4P. The original AT-AT design art for the AT-AT was created by Jory Raphael. It is available to download free for personal use (or professional use if you purchase), so even though it is available for free, we don’t want to share a live version of his artwork on our site. So you’ll need to go to iconfinder.com and download it there. Then you can import it into our pattern. I left a light grey screened template, so you’ll know exactly how it fits together.
DIY Darth Maul Christmas Shirt
Day 5 of the M4P exclusive Christmas Star Wars vector downloads. Darth Maul would be a perfect gift for all the Grinches out there. Now, I was going to close out with “Bah, Humbug!”, but I treasure this time of year too much to write it even in jest. So let’s go with “Early wishes of a wonderful Christmas” instead.
…And we’ll back tomorrow with one last vector pattern for y’all.
