Check out the wonderful work of teen "maker" Brittany, founder of The Better Scale, a site that helps you answer the question "Who Am I?" If you missed her at the faire, you can meet her at the Spring Festival this Sunday afternoon in Columbia.

She passed out these stickers at the Greenbelt Makers Faire. It was beautiful to see so many adults and kids, wearing these stickers. -Erin, Roll Up N DyeErin and Brittany teaming up.
