WOW! Amazing! Fantastic! There aren't enough words to describe my experience at Lynne's! From the moment you arrive, you are treated as if this is your second home. The food is amazing and the scrap space is great. I never wanted to leave. I will be back again and again! Thanx Lynne.

Lisa B. from Calgary, Sept-2011 Retreat
I had a great time during my retreat at Lynne's. The food was to die for (which I was pregnant during my retreat, and I know that myself and my boys enjoyed everything! Especially the desserts!!!!), I loved the room that I was in (which I want again!), and loved how I can just kick back and enjoy myself. As a mother of now 4, it was so nice to have peace and quiet, and relax, and enjoy the company of my good friends for the weekend. I only wish that it could of lasted longer. Looking forward to hopefully going fall 2012!!!
Crystal from Rosalind, AB, April 2011 retreat

Tara from Bawlf, AB, April-2011 Retreat
"Oh my gosh! I am just home from another wonderful weekend with Lynne. Myself, Val and now my daughter Sara spent the weekend. Sara has named Lynne as her Angel and wants to take her home. As usual the food was to die for. Food, hot tub, wine and scrapbooking what more can you ask for. My new moto," The wine only needs to breath as long as it takes to pour from the bottle." And Angela (the massage therapist) has the most talented hands ever. Oh, Lynne I only gained 2.5 lbs, Thanks!!!! I just want to thank you for opening your home to us and making us feel so welcome and relaxed. 94 more sleeps until the next retreat."
Rose from Calgary, October,2010 Retreat
"Just driving onto Lynne's property brought a great sense of peace over me and then I got to experience the weekend. It exceeded all of my expectations. Between the food, the accomodations, the coming and going as you pleased to scrap book, go for a walk or sit and read it is difficult to pinpoint my favorite part of the weekend unless I could pinpoint my favorite part as being from when I drove up the beautiful driveway to when I had to leave on Sunday afternoon. Lynne...you have a talent for opening your home and making anyone who enters it feel comfortable and truly relaxed. I really needed that and thank you from the bottom of my heart for a wonderful weekend. Bless you and what you do! I am so sorry that you will be leaving our part of the country but should I find myself in PEI I will be looking you up!"
Colleen from Calgary, September 2010 Retreat
"Beautiful scenery, scrumptious food and great company - I have attended Scrapbook Lynne's more than 5 times in the past few years and the only problem with all these great attributes is that they can distract you from scrapbooking if you're not careful! It is a wonderful experience and I would recommend it to any scrapbooker, whether you're just starting out and need inspiration or if you're hard core and need to get away from your house to get some scrapping done!"
Heather from Calgary, 5 Retreats between 2007-2010
"The weekend we had at Lynne's was a little bit of heaven for two days. We were treated like family, and I mean that in a good way, and ate like queens. It is such a beautiful location and the hot tub was wonderful. You not only feel welcome in Lynne's house you feel like you belong there. I can't wait to go back this fall. And yes we did actually scrapbook until the wee hours of the morning."
Rose from Calgary, Feb-2010 Retreat
"For a mother of 5 kids under 5, this was a little taste of heaven. I can't say enough about our retreat. The food was outstanding; Lynne you really went above and beyond; the accomodations were very warm and cozy, the hot tub was relaxing and the scrapbooking was fun. I would so highly recommend your place. I look forward to the two more retreats we've already booked. I can't think of a better way to spend my 40th birthday than at your place scrapbooking!!! Thank you Lynne for everything!!!"
Leanne from Airdrie, Feb/10 Retreat
"What a fabulous retreat! The food is awesome. And all the cool techniques and tools you showed us. WOW! And thanks for being so accomodating with the big storm that delayed our arrival. We will definitely be coming back."
Angela from Calgary, April/10 Retreat
"Hi Lynne. Thanks soooo much for such a fantastic weekend. The food was amazing and accomodations great. You are very personable and made us feel very welcome. It was like we were all close friends that had not seen each other for a long time. Oh and in amongst all the food and visiting we actually got a lot of scrapbooking done!!"
Anita from Calgary, March/10 Retreat
"Wow! Is all I can say. What an amazing weekend. Lynne I was not sure how comfortable I would feel being in someone elses house, but you are such a personable person, it was hard not to feel like you were at home. Your cooking was absolutely amazing, and I am already looking forward to my next retreat. Thanks again for everything, and Anita and I will see you in July."
Kristina from Calgary, March/10 Retreat
"Thanks for another fantastic weekend, everything was amazing; comfortable bed (not that I used it much), excellent massage, lovely hot tub and the food - you wowed me again... oh yeah, the scrapbooking was good too. Creativity abounds in such a pleasant setting when all the details are so well looked after!"
Joan from Calgary, March/10 Retreat
"Terrific weekend retreat!! I am "still full" from the amazing and delicious meals Lynne prepared. Every detail of the weekend was looked after - Lynne you are a great hostess. I had a very relaxed and fun weekend with friends - scrapbooking into the night. Looking forward to the next weekend retreat!"
Val from Calgary, Feb/10 Retreat
"I look forward to my annual retreat(s) at Scrapbook Lynne's - it's the ultimate private retreat. I love not having to worry about a thing. Just show up with my scrapbooking supplies (and friends) and everything else is taken care of. The beds are comfortable, the scrapbooking space is great and the food is fantastic! Dinner on Saturday night is a great treat and no matter how badly I think I want to eat fast and get back to scrapbooking, we always end up staying around the table for the great conversation and laughs. I really enjoy the private ambience where I don't have to worry about other people not liking our music or conversations (or me, theirs). I enjoy myself everytime I spend a weekend and I am always sad to go. Thanks so much for always taking care of us and allowing me to be a paying customer so that I don't have to cook or help with the dishes - that alone is worth every penny!"
Donna from Ft. Mac, Mar/10 (2008 & 2009 Retreats)
“The weekend was fabulous. The scrapbooking was great, the massage was excellent but I am definitely coming back for the food."
Liz from Calgary, Nov/09 Retreat
“I would like to say thank you for a wonderful weekend. Liz and I had a great time and I have to say I found it very relaxing. It was nice to be waited on hand and foot (after I got over the guilt of not clearing my own dishes away). Your meals were delicious and I have to say it was nice to get such an assortment on the menu. You may have to do that “Cookbook” yet. You can sell them at the end of the weekend as we are walking out the door. You went above and beyond in accommodating Liz’s gluten free diet and she greatly appreciated it. I have been on scrapbooking weekends with Liz for about 7 or 8 years now and this is the first time that I have never had to see her question anything or made to feel that she was imposing. Thank you for that! Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better hostess, you saw to our every need (including the dog). Haha!"
Alison from Calgary, Nov/09 Retreat
"Lynne, you are an amazing hostess. You made all of us feel right at home, and included all of the extra special little touches to make us feel extra loved. And the food you made for us.....well, let's just say I can hardly wait to come back!"
Astrid from Calgary, Aug/09 Retreat
