THE JAMBALAYA JOURNAL SERIES USA ONLY @JournalingGinger came up with “Jambalaya Journal Spread” and I can’t imagine coming up with a different swap title and description that would recreate this precise swap which is just exactly right. You can see her original description here. @JournalingGinger has generously allowed me to continue this series while she steps back for a bit.
