Dobela Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Mine arrived today and I have been so anxious to read thru it,even though I haven't ordered from them in a couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mama2cntrykids Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Mine came last week. Which is a good thing because I'm looking for preschool stuff (and books for ds8, dss14 and readers for ds6 and and...) Kidding aside, I'm having too much fun looking throught it!

mohsmom23 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I received mine last week and was so excited. I've been looking at it every night since I got it. Although, it also makes things more difficult because I see how many options I have available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beezus Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Mine arrived today. I've already bought most of my stuff for this coming school year, but of course, I'm sure I'll find something in the new catalog I absolutely need! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Mine came today and I'm freaking out.

DebonLI Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I haven't received one in a while but the last one was 1300 pages, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommy22alyns Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Wahoo! I got mine a few days ago - you know you're a homeschooler when... you get all excited at the new RR catalogue! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLH in ND Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 I got mine, too!! It arrived over the weekend, while I was out of town, so I can't wait to curl up with it tonight, as I listen to the thunderstorms. The Rainbow catalog is the one book that I am not afraid to write in! By tomorrow morning, pages will be marked with post-it notes and entries marked with red stars. If you don't already know, there is a sale on Saxon Math during the month of June! Sheri :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissel Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Am I the only one who's totally overwhelmed by this monster? I find it so intimidating, and I can never find anything I'm looking for in it. I find the web site so much easier use. Am I a homeschooling freak??? :confused: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannqn Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I prefer just looking up what I need online so when I received mine today, I handed it over to a neighbor who is a public-school parent who just asked me two days ago about finding workbooks for his daughter.

Tap Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Mine came today and I'm freaking out. I can't find a single working highlighter in the whole house!!! :glare: It doesn't seem to matter that I just placed my order over the weekend.:tongue_smilie: Oh, a highlighter is not enough! I use sticky note, and let them hang over the edge like tabbed dividers with a heading on the outside and notes about what I am looking at on the inside.....this works especially well combined with the knowledge base here. If someone mentions something, I write in on a sticky note, and then can move to "the book" with my notes when I am ready! I circle, note and write all over the pages. :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Wahoo! I got mine a few days ago - you know you're a homeschooler when... you get all excited at the new RR catalogue! :lol: It must be how the families felt when the Sears Roebuck (sp?) catalogue came out at the turn of the century. :0) Guess it just speaks to our classical roots LOL:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swimmermom3 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Oh, I'm soooo envious. I've asked for one twice and still don't have one. It would be nice. My family hates it when I drool on the computer screen.:drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 Is there something different about the new catalog? (besides the cover :001_smile:) Just all the new items and the feeling of it being ..... new, fresh, clean and pristine. It is like getting you new school supplies as a kid, and the feeling of opening the coloring crayons the first time. It is breaking that seal (ok rubber bands) that I like the best!

Tap Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 I haven't received one in a while but the last one was 1300 pages, I think. 1300 of text, another 58 of index :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the web site so much easier use. Am I a homeschooling freak??? :confused: :lol: I like the website, but not their search engine. I find it requires a very specific touch, that sometimes I can't seem to muster. If I don't know what I am looking for exactly, or for items with a few names, I get irritated if I can't get it to come up. I know with the catalogue all the math is together, history....etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 You're not kidding. I tripped over it on my way out the door and almost broke my neck. Mine was in the package pickup section of the mail box that requires a key. lol :lol: The post-person puts the key in the recipients box. When I got the key today, I couldn't figure out what we got because I hadn't ordered anything that big! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it so intimidating, and I can never find anything I'm looking for in it. I find the web site so much easier use. Am I a homeschooling freak??? :confused: :lol: No. It overwhelms me too. I still love having it though because I can get things for a decent price from there. I just have to look them up after I decide what I want. It makes me too greedy to look through it, and also makes me second guess my choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MomsintheGarden Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I love the RR catalog, but since I've been homeschooling a long time and don't need that much, so I told them it was ok to stop sending their catalog to me. I don't like their website search feature, either, but I figure a lot of trees will be saved by shopping online. GardenMom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luna Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I'm so jealous! I think I better call to make sure I'm still on their list! It's freezing here and I thought a hot bath and the Rainbow catalog would be a great match... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debbie in IL Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Mine arrived yesterday as well! Saved it for today - a rainy day, most of it at home. Off to find the highlighters and sticky notes! One of the best things I ever did last year was to make a "wish list" from this monster book - then, when I need to bump up an order to get to $ 150 for free shipping, I can add an item or two from my list. I'm still going to page through the whole thing, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momof2boys Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I received mine at the end of last week and have spent the last 2 days pouring through the pages. This is absolutely by far my most favorite homeschool catalog. I order 99% of my school stuff from them.

Tiff in TX Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Being brand new to homeschooling, I stumbled across this thread and had a good laugh reading about everyone's excitement. I really must see what all the fuss is about so I ordered one today too.;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 (edited) I never got my catalog. Anyone else still waiting? **** Just called Rainbow...we got on the NEW catalog list, and it is at the printer. Should be shipped in about a week!
