Created With Aloha: What I Did This Weekend

I hope that everyone had a nice weekend. On Saturday my family and I went out to dinner with some good friends, Gail and James from SF. (I initially met Gail through a swap about almost two years ago. Ever since then we have hit it off. ) We had dinner at Mrs. Knott's Kitchen which is the restaurant that is part of Knott's Berry Farm. They are known for their fried chicken dinners with biscuits and delicious jam, a salad, ham and cabbage, mashed potato and gravy, and a fresh piece of pie. Here is a picture of the fried chicken dinner and cabbage with ham. (All the adults ordered this. My son ordered a burger and my daughter ordered mac and cheese.)

Afterwards we went shopping at the Peanuts store. If you are a Peanuts fan you could spend hours in there. They have the cutest Peanuts items. Here is a picture of Gail and I in front of Snoopy's house.

Since Gail and I are both into crafting, we always like to surprise each other with a crafty RAK when we see each other. This is what I made and gave to her. (I was hoping to find circular shaped Yorks but could only find square ones. Gail said that they have peppermint paddles that are circular, but not York ones.)

Here is a picture of the tin open with the candy inside.

She made a very cute box using beautiful paper with Hawaiian print on it.

Check out all the fun goodies inside.

Thanks again Gail for your thoughtful gift and creative creations. After coming home from a lovely evening with Gail and James, my hubby and I spent some time together making tags for the Father's Day gifts that we gave out. This is the tag that we made.

I could not find my "shirt" die so we used another die and had to trim different parts of it to make it look like an "Aloha Shirt." On Sunday we celebrated Father's Day with my husbands side of the family by having lunch at my in-law's house. We celebrated with my side of the family a week ago. Then for dinner we ordered take out at a seafood restaurant. This is what we ordered-
