The day has finally come, after years of waiting, beyond all expectations, it's here! BEST DAY EVER!

Among many in the scrapping community on TH-cam Ian Matthews is well known. His content is mostly about what goes on in his shed, he is a bit of a scrapper, a bit of a crafter and tinkerer. What he is infamous for (or used to be) is how difficult it was to obtain one of his channel logo stickers. Ian was given (manly by myself) the nickname Mail Snail, so I cast him a small bronze sculpture of a snail with a mail satchel (link to the video below)
So this bronze snail has been sitting on my desk for over a year waiting for a sticker from Ian Matthews, and today it finally got here, along with some other things Ian added to the package. THANKS Ian!

so pleased it finally turned up, i'm like. Turn it over Ralph its from Libby. lol
shame there was'nt anything special in that pack of cards that would have been awesome,

[@ralphmourik]

I was very surprised to see it in my mailbox, at first I thought you had made a new package but then I saw the date on it. I just had to film the opening of the cards, would have been insane if the Spectral Tiger mount was in there, at some point that sold for over a 1000 dollars, but alas, can't win em all. Great package Ian, thanks very much, I checked just now and the mail snail already made it to the stairwell so he should be there in no time at all 🤣👍

Sweet package bro! Worth the wait! Was crossing my fingers there would be a mount card in that pack.

[@ralphmourik]

Hey thanks for watching! It would have been awesome to get a loot card in the pack, if it was a mount I would have had a Nerdgasm! 🤣👍

Haha Libby signed the sticker! Well at least Ian's parcel actually arrived, unlike mine! Nice mail call, I wonder how long snailmail will take in return!?

[@ralphmourik]

1 more week of work and then I'll be free for 4 weeks, sending out the second batch of stickers and some other stuff then. Hope it's faster from here to there 😅
Will be doing more scrapyard runs and hopefully get my place and the garage all sorted so I can get back into 3D printing and metal casting... 🤞😋

[@SollersScrappingandDiving]
