Get Cupcake Fever!

I love watching the Nate Berkus Show!

Today he interviewed a young lady that has personally designed a fundraiser called "Cupcakes for Cancer." Her vision began with a desire to help a fellow 8th grader battle leukemia.

She rallied her friends and they began to bake and sell cupcakes after school and at local events. Selling each for $1, they raised $5000 in 6 weeks! Wow, that is fantastic :) She has subsequently raised over $65,000 for pediatric cancer research.

16 year old Blakely is a chemo survivor herself and has inspired communities all over the county to participate in "Cupcakes for Cancer." She is quite a remarkable young lady!

To find out more or to have a fundraiser in your community, check out Blakely's website.

Nate Berkus Interview Actress Amy Sedaris

I just love Nate Berkus' new show! Oprah certainly knows how to pick out the future stars!

Today, Nate interviewed actress Amy Sedaris about her new book, "Simple Times - Crafts For Poor People." It was very enlightening and Amy is quite funny.

Her book "Simple Times" sounds like a really great read for anyone interested in arts and crafts, especially you frugal ones!

Some of the topics in her book are:

The Whos and Whats of Crafting
The Craft of Crafting Craftily
Craft Yourself Homely
Nature's Way
The Joy of Poverty
Handicraftable
Safety Meeting
At Rest
Confectioneries
Out Of This World
Crafting For Jesus
Pep Talk
Hay Burners
Unreturnable Gift Giving
and many more...

It sounds like an awesome read and you can get it from Amazon by clicking below!

Enjoy!
