A bit about Andi

For over 20-years, Andi designed and operated educational and job-training programs for disabled and other at-risk youth. Her can-do spirit helped thousands of youth graduate from high school and enter college, vocational training and employment.

In 2004, she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and began cutting back her hours. When her health deteriorated to the point that she was no longer able to work, she was forced to resign from her job as senior vice president and grants writer. BUT, instead of giving up, she looked at her illness and "retirement" as an opportunity to try new things - like cooking, gardening and creating gifts for friends and family.

A couple of months ago, she opened Andrea's Creations at Bonanzle. She has recruited photographers and artists from around the world who share her belief that every child can succeed if given a chance... and pairs their work with funny or inspirational quotes and creates unique t-shirts, hats, greeting cards, notecards, invitations, art print posters, keyrings, calendars, magnets...

Proceeds from her booth help to fund educational programs for disabled and other at-risk youth in her community.
