Your place is so clean! I have horrible dust mite allergies and as soon as I lay down on a bed that is not mine I get an allergy attack. But NOT on your bed! I slept like a baby on your comfy bed. Thanks so much for all the care you take to make our stay the best. It was my first time, but definitely not my last...see you in June!

Thank you so much for the wonderful weekend. We fell in love with your place and well, you already know I'll be back in December and January! :
It was wonderful to get to know you. I didn't get to meet that many folks but got a chance to chat it up with a few! But I can't wait to meet more of your great scrappers as time goes on!
We all had a great time, and well, we can't believe it's taken us this long to find out what was just north of us.
So glad we did! You made us all feel so welcome and special..........

Hi Rena
I just returned home from the Rockin R' Retreat this weekend, my first time going. I just want to let you know that I love it!!!. I spent an amazing time there, thanks so much for all your efforts in this place. Every little corner is full with love and care. I had a massage and the spa room is full of positive energy, Scheree Hester is a great therapist with healing hands. The envirorment is so peaceful. The scrapbook room is super fun, food was super delicious. Love the words on the wall, the music, cozy living room, bedroom, bathroom, etc every little corner is great. I'm checking on the dates that you have available for next year. I want to host a retreat. I will get back to you as soon as I check my agenda.
Love the cricut section, you have a great selection.

Our hostesses did a superb job, thank you Geri, Nancy, Rhonda & Lisa for a wonderful time of fun scrappin', fellowship and worship. I'll see you next Feb!

I was at Diane Coppo’s retreat this past weekend at Rockin’ R. What a wonderful facility you have, I thoroughly enjoyed myself!!! This is my second retreat at your center and I've been telling my friends.
I enjoyed the food you prepared too, particularly the lasagna. I was wondering if you would be willing to share your Mexican Lasagna recipe? I have a meeting coming up and would love to prepare it for the attendees.
Blessings,
Dory

Wanted to drop you a line and tell you that my kids put my scrapbox together for me after lunch on Thanksgiving.
It took them around 3 hours so not bad at all.
This thing is amazing. Sturdy and roomy. I am not done but have filled a little over half of it.
I was sure I would have it packed to the max and not so.
Thanks and hope to crop sometime with you.

We had an absolutely fantastic time at RRR last weekend!! I am not exaggerating when I say that everyone who was there has asked if they can come back next year. I know we’ll have others who want to come too and hopefully we’ll find time for a Spring Time retreat as well. :o
I’ve spoken with Kelly and we’re both excited about your Hostess Retreat in December! Please put us both down as “YES!! We’re coming!” and Thank You SO much for the invitation. What a wonderfully generous gesture for your hostesses.
Thanks!

First let me say Thank you for having the perfectfacility for a retreat! I was with Anne Barnaby's group last weekend and had a ball. I owned my own B&B sold it in August and did retreats ~ It was fun to finally go to one! You have definitely done your home work and created a wonderful spot for women to come and scrap book! You are amazing and certainly have the gift of hospitality! I hope that you continue to be blessed by what appears to be a wonderfully successful business. And Bonnie gave the BEST massage...she was wonderful!
Thanks so much...Looking forward to hearing from you. And I will also be contacting you for the "wall art" that was great and just what I was looking for for our game-room!

Hi Rena! I was a first-time scrapper at a retreat in October. Having so many tools and "goodies" at my disposal made it easy and fun. I made a small book for each of my children. I'm afraid this could be addictive! By the way, I got those pesky PTA cards done later that week too. Thank you so much and I'm sure our group will be back.

Our weekend at Rockin' R was fantastic! Everyone who joined us this weekend is already planning when they can come back. Comments were "It is the best retreat center we have ever attended!"..."We can' wait to come again"..."We can't wait to go back and tell our friends what they missed". This was my third time since the June opening to attend a Rockin' R retreat with Rena. And I have to say that it just keeps getting better and better. Rena has anticipated our every need and then given us the best! I highly recommend this facility to EVERYONE! Just come once and you will LOVE it and want to keep on coming!

Rena maintains a nice supply of products, papers, embellishments for those you "must have", and provides comfortable chairs and workspace, a journaling station, cutters, Cricut machine to use while there .. so convenient. Once you check in you can spend as much time working on your project, visiting, sleeping, etc. ... all under one roof. It is close to Temple just in case you want to go into town. The accommodations are well-appointed, comfortable and the meals are all good. She is well organized and the Rockin R Retreat Center is a lovely place. I look forward to the next great event.

I did 52 pages plus finished my daughter's 2nd Grade School Days Album. It was a absolutely fantastic weekend. I got a lot done and even managed to rest. The food was great and the extra perks were great. I cannot wait to see you again in October.
