Mini with a Holder

One thing that I have learned in the many, many hours I spend blurfing (blog surfing), is that the crafty world is so amazingly creative.
Every day there is something new that I want to try.
Today is no exception.
As soon as I saw Jenn's Mini with a Stand I knew I wanted to make it!
When I went to her blog, I didn't expect for her to have built that amazing stand from scratch.
Yep. From. Scratch.
Pretty awesome, huh?
