I have been scrapbooking since I was probably twelve years old. Of course, over the years, my…read morestyle has greatly changed and when looking back I laugh at my early pages. Back then or even twenty years ago it was no surprise to find an actual scrapbook store throughout many cities. Sadly, now, it is almost impossible to find brick and mortar store. I believe when I moved down to Florida 18 years ago there were 3 stores that I frequented often and now, only Scraporium is left. When I am in the Carrollwood or Lutz area , I always stop in if it's during business hours to see what they have added to the store or if there is anything that I must have. The ladies that work, there are always so nice and polite and willing to help find anything that you may be looking for that.They have as the store is very packful of various goodies. I truly hope they are successful enough to remain open for years to come.

First time at this place! It's small but PACKED full of a variety of fun scrapbooking items! I was…read moretold it also has classes. Some things were a good price and some things were higher than average. But the fact that it's a small and local place made me comfortable paying a premium. There was a woman when we walked in that acknowledged us but we weren't sure if she was a manager or just a customer. When we went to pay, we were second in line and the lady at the cash register (I assume owner) disappeared without saying a word after she helped the people in front of us. Not sure what happened but we waited several minutes before we could check out. No other customers were in the store at the time. I'll be back, though :)

Other than that I really enjoyed their selection and how everything was nicely categorized. The owner greeted us warmly and tried to see what kind of books I was into so that he could intentionally steer me around his shop, I appreciated it because I only had about 30 mins to peruse. I ended up buying 2 herbal books for a very fair price, he actually told me the prices on the books weren't set in stone. The whole thing was delightful, him and his wife even gave me a locally owned restaurant recommendation.
