OH I can't wait to see it. The mini catalog (in my opinion) made me drool more than the one released in January and SAB put together. REALLY! Totally cute stuff, pretty stuff, elegant stuff... there is something for everyone in this catalog.
And is it ok for me to say I saw some of the BEAUTIFUL goodies we'll be able to get our hands on soon???
I expedited for the first time, and I'll be getting my goodies this week! I can't wait to make some Easter cards. And, any customer can view and purchase the 3 sets and 1 wheel that can be pre-ordered from the mini this month.

As someone who doesn't celebrate Easter, I'm normally disappointed by the spring "seasonal" catalogs. From the previews I've seen, there is only one set that is mostly NOT Easter-themed with only one bunny stamp. Don't get me wrong - it's very cute - but it would be really nice if one of the sets was totally non-denominational -with, say flowers, butterflies, birds, etc. I am personally tired of (and in this economy, can no longer afford) seasonal sets that contain stamps that are religious in nature. Yes - I'll suck it up if one out in a set is a bunny or Christmas tree along with other more truly "seasonal stamps" (flowers, snowman, etc.). But even then it seems a little unfair to those who don't observe certain holidays. I'm Jewish. Passover is a spring holiday. I'm not asking for a "matzah" stamp. Just a set that celebrates the season, not the holidays.
Sorry for the vent. I look forward to seeing the catty in its entirety and hope that there is at least one full non-Easter set. As someone who has bought enough christmas trees by default b/c they are included in a "winter" set, I'm a little warped!LOL!

You must have seen the 2 page sneak peak of easter sets that can be purchased this month. THe rest of the mini is better. There is a beautiful 2 step floral set, garden set, verse set, friend set with butterfly, oval set with matching scallop oval punch, summer set, matchbox messages set to match new BS die, kids train set, forest friend - looks like Bambi and friends, cute masculine set, vintage clock and more.

I got a little sneak peak! It's awesome!! I had to trim my wish list like 3 times just so I wouldn't give my DH a heart attack! The train set is adorable! The wagon is too perfect! I also love the garden one! I can't wait until customers can order them!

Thank you everyone for your replies. I will try some of these ideas. The Score-pal sounds like something I need, but will have to do without in the meantime.
The new Occassions Mini Catalog is Wonderful!! Lots of fun sets and things.. They are allowing customers to order a few of the sets early this time around so you can get a sneak peak and order a few early...
I am going broke this time around because I want pretty much one of everthing!! I am SO happy that Stampin Up has decided to go back to one big catalog a year and do 3 of the Occasions Mini Catalogs a year and keep them going for 4 months at a time, especially if they keep coming out with so many awesome things in each one!! You can see the ones that are available to buy right now on your Demonstrators Website under Promotions "Sneak Peak"
You are so lucky as I have also seen a sneak preview of the catty but we are waiting to see what the Australia New Zedaland version will be. We seem to be a whole season behind you so we will be getting excited about what you got excited about last year.........
There have been next to no new stamps I have liked in over a year and I am in love with the new mini. I have only ordered one stamp set in 18 months but have 4 I will be ordering from the mini

I loved what I saw in the mini, and I agree with the previous poster who liked very little in the recent past. I only bought two sets from the current catalog...this mini may break the bank! Still wishing that SU! would offer an unmounted option, though!

The entire mini won't be available for online viewing until April 1st, BUT you can see just the sets available for preorder (starting March 1)HERE. We have been given permission by SU! to share this .pdf with our customers, so I would think it's ok to share it here. Although this link goes through my blog, it is a direct link to the .pdf itself, not to my main blog page.

Goodness! i love the Wagon full of fun set but $34.95? I can't afford it. I hope each stamp is a large one for that price. Can't wait to see the rest of the mini!

I saw the retiring list on someone's blog this morning. It was a BIG one. Based on what retired this time, your catalog may be more in tune with the US one. A lot of the stamps sets on our last retired list are now on yours. Seeing Canvas on your list made me weepy all over again. I sure do miss demoing that baby!!!
When does the AUS new catty come out?
Never Mind....read your last sentence....APril 1st....sorry, need a Starbucks.....BAD!!!
I saw a link awhile ago to the mini catalog on line, anyone have that, I can't find it now? I think it was the Canadian version maybe?
Honestly, nothing in it struck me at the time! I don't make Easter cards so that cut out half of them...but now you all have me wondering if I overlooked something. What are the sets you are liking?
I also may have just said forget it because of the prices...

My demo pre-order comes tomorrow. Man, I can't WAIT! I ordered 8 (yes EIGHT) of the new sets. They are all FABULOUS! And none of what I ordered is on the pre-order sets available to customers right now. I already had plenty of Easter sets, so I opted not to get those.
Wow.. you are getting your order so fast??? How did you manage that, do you live right next to the warehouse? LOL I am going to place my order today from the mini and I think my order is going to have 10 thngs on it.. I have been trying to pare it down and I just can't.. LOL So I am ordering as much as I can with the amount of $$ I have to spend..
Once us Demo's start to get their orders then everyone will be able to see all the new things... Yeah!! I have such a hard time keeping them under wraps and not sharing with all my customers!! LOL

A lot of demos (including myself) paid to expedite there preorder (you get one day picking and 2 day shipping with this option) so we could make sample for March workshops.

I expedited LOL~. I'm on the east coast and shipping is a full week after UPS gets it. So with 4 to 5 day shipping times, plus a week in transit, I decided to spring for expedited shipping. $20 well spent IMHO.
Tomorrow when I get home from work, I'll have new toys to play with. I got 8 sets, the punch and the new XL BS die (plus other regular catty stuff I needed). :-D
LOL... sometimes I truly wonder about my brain... LOL I knew you can do that and I never put that into consideration... I too live on the east coast and I know it takes a while to get things... My hubby is out on disability right now so $$ is tight so I will have to wait, at this point I would rather spend the $$ on products instead of getting it faster but that is definitely something I would do too if I had the funds..
Not that it's Tick time of the year, but as the weather gets warmer please be aware of Ticks on you and your children and your pets...The best prevention of Lyme Disease is vigilance.. I am saying this because I have cronic lyme disease and a whole lot of problems from it, one being problems with my brain functions and that combined with my over 40's sometimes I truly feel like the Village Idiot!! LOL

Slight hijack: I'm absolutely PARANOID about ticks. I check the kids each time they come in from playing outside. We live in a fairly wooded area with tons of deer (they like to play with the swingset in the back yard) and rabbits and other carriers of ticks. So THANKS for the reminder. ;)
I would LOOOOOOVVVVE to see a sneak peak of the entire mini....those pre-order sets aren't doing it for me. The cutesy bunny ducky train thing is not my style.
I got a sneak peak of the entire mini from my demonstrator yesterday and everything is really cute!! I know there will be a lot I "NEED" for this mini!! But my hubby is out on disability also so money is kinda tight...but started another job this week, so maybe I will be back in business soon!!
