The multi-purpose golden leaf!

Well, I have a few examples of how to use these lovely golden leaves. (Isn't gold spray paint FUN?!)  I am off to the grocery store tomorrow and will be whipping up all sorts of deliciousness for  this weekend, so be watching for my breakfast menu (perfect for overnight guests during the holidays,  friends coming over on a weekend, or just a special morning with your family), truffles, kid-friendly (kid-created!) candy-corn turkeys, and hearty soup.

So... the leaves. I was using some as a centerpiece, so decided to use them as place cards as well. I used a Sharpie permanent marker to write a name on one, but you could use paint or a paint pen instead. The leaf can  then be propped up against a glass or tucked into a napkin ring. The leaves are nice gift toppers for a hostess gift, birthday gift, or teacher's gift, or Christmas gift.










If you weren't ready to play with gold paint before, you are now, right!? Enjoy!

And oh yeah,  go out and buy some Candy Corn on clearance somewhere, because you're going to need it for these cutie-pie turkeys my kids are making with their friends.
