Closing of the Idea Marketplace

I got the chance to help Martha with breakdown of the Idea Marketplace last night. It was nice to have one last chance to thank our exhibitors and supporters. Can't believe it coming to an end!

Little Slice of Home

Most everyone here in Portland has seen me carrying this around but I thought I would share it with those of you at home. Zoe drew me a sweet picture and it is the front cover of the binder I am carrying around. Most of my regional volunteers have seen it and think it's adorable! Thanks to Zoe and Michelle for helping me feel connected.
