    Yoliebean said you were the go-to person for LGB journal tutorials. I've watched just about every popular jj makers' version. Still had one question. How do you have multiple signatures while still keeping story in order? You answered that right away. I never knew LGBs had more than one signature. But people do make jjs having more than two signatures. I'll continue watching your LGB jj series bc so many ladies say you are a great teacher.
