Behind The Blog… featuring Janie from No Plain Janie

Happy Tuesday Blog Buddies,

Hope you’re all having a great week so far and have enjoyed the extra little day of indulgence thanks to the bank holiday *woo hoo* I managed to indulge in three glorious days of lie in’s with no alarm bleeping in my ear to disturb my much needed slumber. However, back to porridge this morning as I’ve been up since 5:30am *grrroaan*

Thankfully though I’ve another fun-filled Behind The Blog to cheer us all up as the lovely Janie from No Plain Janie makes herself comfy on our virtual sofa to tell us a bit more about herself…

As always, if you’re new to Confetti & Curves (friendly wave) & not entirely sure what this virtual shenanigans is all about then *click here* to bring yourself up to speed – you may even find yourself getting involved. Why the heck not?!

If you haven’t already taken a trip over to Janie’s little corner of the interweb then be sure to make it a must! She’s one nifty blogging mama (who’s favourite nibble just happens to be chocolate) of course any fellow blogger with a sugary palette for tasty treats is going to get my attention! So make yourself comfy as it’s time to catch up with the lovely lady herself…
