The History Behind The Craig Chronicle
I am probably one of the most sentimental people you’ll ever meet. If space wasn’t an issue I’d say yes to every single family heirloom and hand-me-down to ever enter my plane of vision. I currently have family heirlooms being stored at three of my family member’s houses because I didn’t want the heirlooms to be sold, but I couldn’t take them on quite yet.
It’s amazing how well my family puts up with all my antics ;)
So on April 17th, 2021 I was hanging out with my fam and I-can’t-remember-who pulled out this letter from my great grandmother. By the time it got passed around to me I could barely wait. (scroll down to see the 1957 edition)
My great grandmother would send out a yearly letter (a christmas card if you will) called The Craig Chronicle. Think: Ross from the office with his holiday letter.
The letter entranced me. The way she wrote, the ink, the font, even the paper itself. I was obsessed. But the thing that really stuck with me was the name: The Craig Chronicle. So I kindly borrowed it for my website.
Adding the family name to it has made it even easier for me to consistently send out my blogs and emails because I am honoring my great grandmother.
So because I’m a sappy one who has every family memoir I can get my hands on, what is a family heirloom or sacred keepsake that you keep around? Seriously, tell me. My sentimental self cannot wait to hear about it.
