Fr'o'nk's Stampin' Up! Incentive Trip Adventure Continues

Saturday morning was exciting for the demonstrators in Vienna as it was time to share their swaps with each other.

Here's a look at my swap

I used air dry clay and stamped it with a 'naked' Parlour Prints background and then used basic black ink to stamp Vienna in the language of the recipient. Here you see a french version (picture courtesy of Dorothy).
By the time swapping was over Fr'o'nk was somewhat bored and so decided to attract our attention by free falling from the roof of the hotel.  Luckily for him Natalie was quick of the sofa and caught him as he passed the hospitality suite window!!!


Confined to the sofa, he rested before he was  persuaded to spend the day sightseeing. He headed out for the famous Zanoni Zanoni Ice Cream Parlour for some gorgeous italian gelato.  Yes believe it or not Vienna is full of Italian ice cream shops.

He took in the sights!!
He admired one bust



And then another


Before he ignored the sign saying keep off the grass!!!


His behaviour went downhill from then on.  He took to drinking.......


After a sleep on park bench

he was caught short...........

and finally stopped by the Police

who threw him jail


where he realised the error of his ways, but not before the influence of ice cream and all the other naughties he'd consumed took their revenge.



I offered mitigation for his behaviour and persuaded the Police that his youthful exuberance and excitement had got the better of him and that he promised to behave for the remainder of the trip.  They agreed to release him.  I wish I could be this successful when negotiating life with my children.



That evening he agreed to have a quiet dinner in the hotel restaurant before joining the rest of the group in the bar.


(food picture for those of you who know who you are........)

In the bar he even bumped into George Clueknee
(who does he think he's kidding!!!!!!!!!!!! Just don't tell him that I know he's not the real George Clooney!)

It was then up the apple and pears, well up in the posh lift actually,  to the land of nod for sweet dreams about his adventure in Vienna on the Stampin' Up! UK Incentive Trip 2012.

No stuffed animals, policemen or husbands were hurt in the production of this story.

Stampin' Up! Fr'o'nk's Vienna Adventures


Fr'o'nk arrived in Vienna, full of anticipation for the treats that lay ahead of him.  First stop naturally was  the hospitality suite to make friends and catch up with the Stampin' Up! team.  He loved spinning the wheel and was overwhelmed with all the free candy!  He meticulously stacked his box full of Hershey nuggets,  M and Ms and liquorice.

Life in the fast lane and 5* luxury was just his cup of tea!!!

After a busy first day full of excitement he elected for an early night and dreamed about tomorrow's trip to Schonbrunn.

You can see more of Fr'o'nk's pictures over at Stampin' Up! Uk facebook page. Why not like the page and keep updated there too with promotions and ideas.


He also shared his pillow gift from his first night on the Vienna Incentive Trip.
