  DIY Heart Sweater: Katie from For Lauren and Lauren
  I'm thrilled to have Katie on the blog today.
  I don't even remember how I "met" her, but I love her! (Who but a blogger could utter that phrase??)
  She's a bargain shopper, a crafter, and a teacher. I never miss a post from her!
  While I often scoff at "crafts" that require a sewing machine, this adorable sweater is something I may have to attempt. And, yeah, I'll totally hand-sew it.
  I'm so happy to be sharing on Kristin's blog today. My name is Katie and I blog at for Lauren and Lauren. Kristin in one of the first bloggers I've met and I'm so glad I did! I may not be envious of her living in Alaska but am envious of the delicious desserts she is always making. I've stolen many recipes from her!
  I started my blog for my sister Lauren and sister-in-law Lauren because they convinced me to share my daily outfits with them. Now my blog has become a place to not only share my cheap clothing finds, but also projects I make, recipes I attempt and what is happening in my life.
  Speaking of finding cheap clothing, I rarely spend a lot of money on one clothing item. And when I saw those adorable heart sweaters from J.Crew last year I knew I would never spend $80 on one, so I decided to make my own. It was super easy and cost me less than $8.
