I live in Phoenix, Arizona. I am married to my best friend and his name is Jim Crouch. Between us we have 8 children and 12 grandchildren. I know I do not look old enough to have 12 grandchildren, but I do! I have two chihuahuas that think they are great guard dogs and collectively weigh 12 pounds. I have been designing jewelry for nine years and decided to begin designing my own beads when I noticed everyone was becoming jewelry makers. I have been doing some kind of creating since I was five years old. I have taken classes at the Mesa Arts Center in Mesa Arizona studying with Dolly Ahles and Laurie Nessel. I traveled to Austin Texas in June 0f 2005 and spent three days receiving one on one instruction with Donna Mehnert of BlackberryBeads. I studied for a week (February 2006) with Loren Stump. My goal is to make this website an enjoyable, interesting and informative place for you to visit everyday. Enjoy and please e-mail me with any of your comments.
Sincerely,
Kristine Kemper

My Toby. He was a loyal dog that hardly ever left my side. He was 15 years old and I had to make the right choice for him and have him put to sleep in October 2008. I miss him so.

Lola and Sandy. They are so popular they have their own page.

Mia is my daughter Molly's chihuahua but she has been with us for a while now. She loves Lola and Sandy so much that Molly lets her stay here.
