I Don't Celebrate
Graphic Artist
Carla Patterson
Carla grew up in Hudson, Ohio where she attended High School focusing on Graphic Arts. Shortly after graduation she moved to Colorado, where she moved on to her career goals.
After moving back to Ohio in 2000, she married her high school sweetheart. In 2003 she gave birth to a baby girl named Alivia. In 2007 she completed her family with a baby boy named Foster. She is now living in Medina, Ohio and is a stay at home mom!
After hearing a sermon at her Church about Christmas, Pastor Chris was referring to how people today say “Happy Holiday’s” instead of Merry Christmas! Carla was inspired by her Pastor’s words to create a T-shirt. The T-shirt was presented to Pastor Chris and was worn during the last service before Christmas.
This is when Terry Sneed came up with a wonderful way to help raise money for our Church and its missions! “Let’s start a T-shirt business selling these “I Don’t Celebrate T-shirts”, he said! And Idontcelebrate.com was born!
So what was a sermon, turned into an idea and one single T-shirt, turned into a BIG idea and a whole bunch of T-shirts!
I’d like to thank Pastor Chris for his wonderful inspirational sermons and his dedication to Christ. He is someone I look up to and genuinely love. I’d also like to thank Terry for his encouragement, his intelligence with business preparation, for coming to me with this idea and all his support. For this would not have happened without him!
