It must be the season for selling huh? I just got the email announcing the sale. I really, really hope they don't change much. I love their products and I'd be distressed if they dropped Herbanella.

Seastone Companies Acquires All My Memories Wholesale

PROVO, UTAH—Seastone Companies, LC, parent company of Seastone Consumer Products Group and Seastone Media Group, announced today the recent acquisition of All My Memories Wholesale, LLC, a worldwide provider of scrapbooking and memory crafting products. The new company will be known as All My Memories, LLC (AMM).

Over the last several years, All My Memories Wholesale has experienced significant growth by expanding its customer base, introducing many new and innovative products into the marketplace, and achieving strong penetration into international markets. “Seastone's expertise and leadership in fast-paced product development, proprietary production and distribution systems, as well as its proven business track record were key reasons All My Memories saw the acquisition as an outstanding opportunity for continued growth,” said Jorjana Brown, founder of All My Memories and now the company’s Chief Creative Officer.

“We intend to rapidly expand All My Memories’ business. It has incredible brand recognition, a great product offering, and a very impressive management team,” said Warren Osborn, new CEO for the company, who is also CEO of Seastone Companies. “Seastone has strong manufacturing, international trade, supply chain management, and design experience that it brings to the table. Our award-winning design team brings unique packaging, marketing, and innovative storage solutions to the AMM product mix. Together, we make a powerful team,” he continued.

Bryce Stevens, the newly appointed President of All My Memories and its former Chief Operating Officer said, “This acquisition will give All My Memories a very strong market position as well as the financial foundation upon which to combine the strengths of both companies. We will be much more aggressive in developing and marketing our product lines worldwide.”

“The change will be transparent to the All My Memories customer base in terms of day-to-day operations, but will allow the company to develop and bring new products to market faster as well as increase the visibility and availability of its existing product lines,” said Bryan Dunford, former General Manager of Seastone Media Group and the new Senior Vice President of All My Memories.

All My Memories is headquartered in Draper, Utah, and continues to be a global leader in providing sophisticated and trendsetting scrapbooking and crafting material that enable crafters of all skill levels to experience the joy of creating beautiful works of art to preserve treasured memories.

Scrapjazz sold

I know for some this is old news, but there are still others that want to know. lol

June 14, 2006--Scrapbook.com, a leading online destination for scrapbookers worldwide, today announced it has acquired Scrapjazz.com (The Scrapbooking Megasite) and Scrap Tutor from Rochester, Minn.-based Infinite Publishing for an undisclosed sum. The combination will give Scrapbook.com even more features to provide its more than 450,000 monthly unique visitors, while simultaneously providing expanded services to the users of Scrapjazz.com.

For those of us on the newsletter lists, I've already begun to see a little different format for some of them. Not a huge change, just an extra annoucement here and there and I'm sure we will see more products being pushed now. None of these are bad things. They are already a great resource site and hopefully that will stay the same.
