A few weeks ago a company reached out to see if I would be interested in reviewing and using some of their resin related products. I was so excited to check them out that I browsed their online shop and immediately agreed.

The parcel showed up yesterday, much to my delight and I want to share this company and the products with you in this little video.
I will be following with some resin items made with the moulds so check back if you want to see what I create. I have some fab ideas and can’t wait to get stuck in.

Festive Choc Chip Shortbread Star Cookies
Our activity calendar this week kick started on Monday with ‘Bake Cookies’ so I knew I had to find a special cookie recipe to please this little brood and make it Christmassy!!!
[image error]
I found a very basic shortbread recipe and customised it to suit our needs. these were a massive hit. So much so I have a new batch in the oven for movie night tonight!!
So enjoy.
[image error]
The Ingredients
125g butter
55g sugar (and a little extra for sprinkling)
180g flour (self raising or plain works)
1/2 tbsp Vanilla extract
60g choc chips (I use 30g dark and 30g milk)
15g Christmas sprinkles ( we used stars in festive colours)
The method
Put the soft, room temp butter in a mixing bool and mix until soft and fluffy. Add in the sugar and combine well before adding vanilla.
Once well blended drop in small batches of flour at a time and mix well util all flour is combined.
Throw in your choc chips and sprinkles and knead the dough until smooth and formed into a ball.
Wrap in cling film and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to rest and firm up.
If you are using a cutter, roll out your dough on a floured surface, roll to about 1.5cm thick, cut your cookies and lay on baking paper on a baking tray.
If you prefer cookies to be round and simple, then roll the ball into a long log about 2 inches in diameter, wrap in cling film again and freeze until the dough is very firm. You can slice off your 1.5cm thick cookies when it is and place on a tray.
Sprinkle the cookies with caster sugar and place in an oven around gas mark 5 for 15- 20 minutes. Until they start to golden lightly.
Remove and allow to cool before serving.
When you bite these babies, you will see all the lovely sprinkles and chocolate and they are just the perfect amount of yum!!!

Book Luver
It’s not often I open emails that look mass sent and spammy but in this case I am glad I did. I had an email from whom I assume are one of the creators of Book Luver and found myself registering for the book version of Pinterest with great excitement.
I am a pinterest fiend so imagine my delight that I can have a book only version that is filled with book loving browsers.

The email – should you also want to join!!
Hi L.T.Marshall
I wanted to introduce you to Book Luver, a reading community for readers to connect to authors. Here’s five book marketing activities that may interest you.
Book Marketing Acitivities
1. List your book onto Book Luver at no charge to you. You can feature one or all of your books for our readers to find, and you can also create book boards with different imagery you include in your writing, book cover reveals and your book trailers. Here’s a help link: https://bookluver.com/help
2. If you would like to have a literary agent read your completed unpublished manuscript or have a literary scout and a film producer see your book for a film option, you may want to enter our 2020 Awards.
3. Add sample chapters or your reader magnet book to our very popular Freebies area. Sample chapters are a great way to introduce new readers to your books and if they like them, you get a book sale. And if you ask them to subscribe to download the chapters you also get a new subscriber. The same goes for your reader magnet. Find out more: https://bookluver.com/freebies-package-for-authors
** In December we are running an advertising campaign to 1000K new readers. If your chapters or book is listed, those new visitors may download it!
4. Grow your mailing list with a newsletter insertion or a genre giveaway with the potential of gaining thousands of new subscribers on your mailing list. Our subscribers are avid readers and the last thriller we promoted received 930 clicks.
5. Get reviews with our new Book Review Club launching early in 2020. Over the past year we have been asking readers to leave reviews for various books and found them ‘eager’ and ‘wanting more’ plus they are responsive in leaving reviews. Register your interest in our Book Review Club to be notified when our club launches.
There are lots more we haven’t listed so you can join our Authors Facebook Group to find out more, or subscribe to our authors mailing list and keep an eye on Book Luver For Authors.
If there is anything you would like to ask, please contact me, Paula Wynne ~ Founder.
