Post party drop

Right now I am going through the post party drop that happens every time I go to a party. I have so much to write about and all. Saturday was the very first Meet and Greet for our Tampa Tanners group. Katia and I were very nervous and excited at the same time though. In the end though the greet was awesome we had about 20 people show up and we got to meet some really neat people. The atmosphere that day was very friendly and I was glad that we had the turnout we did. It was mentioned to us that because of the outcome of our very first Meet and greet that they believe that our group is going to get enormous and that we should think about a bigger meeting spot in the near future. This person has been around the scene for a little while and was glad to see the turnout for our first time which is why he believes our group will be big. Another person that showed up as well told us that they had many choices that day of places to go and they were very happy that they choose our meet. Hearing these things really made Katia and I happy. We look forward to watching this group grow and getting to meet new people through it.

The Meet and Greet was just the beginning though to a very wonderful weekend. Tood and Suzy from American Spanking Society are very good friends of ours. We had decided earlier to get together after the meet and greet at a local hotel and spend some quality time together for a small spanking party. It was just Thomas and I, Todd and Suzy, Katia and Jean but we had a wonderful time. I have a whole lot to write about and pictures to share. We also had meet a newbie that we brought to the hotel for a little bit to share some time with. She is a young one at only 18 and really excited about getting into this scene. She stayed till 8 and played spankopoly with us. Being young and new though she did well and I look forward to welcoming her into the scene and glad she choose us to share this growth with. I was once a newbie though not at such a young age and it feels good to be able to welcome someone to the friendliness of this community of spankos and experience their firsts with them and guide them.

Sunday morning while we still had time in the hotel we also shot a few videos with Katia and I and Thomas. I will be working on some of those today getting them edited and ready for the store. One of mine was a punishment video and then I did one with Katia where she took a 100 with the bath brush for a friend of hers and I held her hand during it. I have so much to write about and will be working on that today as well. I am waiting to get all the pictures and things together. But that post is coming soon. so keep a watch out because we had a blast and it was an amazing weekend. I ended up being awake from Friday morning all the way until Sunday afternoon. I had such an adrenaline rush going though I didn't feel it till now LOL. I ended up not getting Saturday night off work though and had to leave the party at midnight to work till 7. When i got back to the hotel at 7 we shot the videos then headed to breakfast. The fun didn't stop there though LOL. I will write more when I have the videos and pictures to share as well.

Spankings Spankings and more Spankings

Yesterday Katia Thomas and I all got together for a full day of shooting. Me getting out of work at 6 though kind of made things a little bit behind. I was supposed to be up and ready by 8 but I wasn't, I was really really tired. Part of me really didn't want to go but knew that the chance to do it again probably wouldn't come anytime soon. So I managed to get up at 8 and get ready. we were behind schedule but still had time to do a few scenes I think we did about four videos all together.

Katia and I were dressed in our school girl outfits. We had planned on doing a special video for the Tampa Tanners back to school bash. And since we were already dressed for it we also shot a few videos for the Birchwood Academyseries at Thomas's clips store. It was bunches of fun though and hopefully soon we will have the promo video edited. We also have some funny outtakes from the day that I plan on making into a little video clip. There was quite alot of spanking that day! I ended up a little brusied in the end though. For now though enjoy these screenshots I took from the unedited video. Not all of them are serious though as most of it was from the outtakes and the fun part. Making spanking videos is always a lot of fun.



















Today I also had a chance to make a self spanking video I had been planning on making. In this video I use my flamingo hairbrush that katia had given to me as a gift. unfortunately the brush didn't last to long before it broke but at least it broke where it could still be used. The bristles just fell off it and the back part stay in tact though which is the part needed for spanking anyway. LOL. After I gave myself a few hairbrush swats I switched to the wedding gift paddle. Even in a self spanking that thing is vicious and not at all very playful. Plus already being somewhat bruised added to the ouch factor.

I then switched to the school type paddle that I had gotten Thomas for Christmas from Cane-iac. That is were it got very difficult. That thing really hurt but I managed to get through it. A self spanking is hard in a few ways as lifting your arm behind is not an easy task and bringing a paddle down with enough force to actually cause an impact. But I think it turned out alright and i am still a little sore from it. Here are a few screen shots as well of my self spanking today. I hope you enjoy. If you wish to see the full video visit Cookie Crawford's clipsand The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostores today as I already uploaded the full 15 minute video. Also remember that any of the proceeds from either of my stores will go towards the Tampa Tanners group. It will help buy prizes and gifts and the venues for the parties. So if you would like to help support the group what better way to do it then to buy a spanking video. The bruises you see at first are from the video shooting the day before.






















And here is the promo video clip the full video is about 14 minutes long.




I will also work on the other video and hopefully get that togerther soon. I am really excited about tomorrow. it will be Tampa Tanners first Meet and greet and we are getting together with a few close spanking friends. I am really excited even though I have to go to work at 12 that night even though I requested off a few weeks prior. That just sucks. I am also hoping that maybe when I get off work at 7 I can head to the hotel and shoot a punishment video for Cookie Crawford's clipsand The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostores as well. I have an issue I need addressed and that would be the perfect time to have it addressed.

Awesome music day

LOL I found this song after talking to a co-worker last night. I mentioned that I liked lady gaga's I was born this way and she asked if I heard this one which I didn't until this morning when I looked it up but yes I love it LOL. enjoy the music today!



And here is the Lady Gaga song born this way



I like the first video better though but I think this is the official video for Rihanna's S&M song


Lord's of acid Spank my booty


The Spank song LOL funny


choke me, spank me and pull my hair


Spank my ass Missy Elliott and Blu cantrell

Totally random LOL

Well I am getting ready to meet with Katia so we can set up our new website for Tampa Tanners. I am also getting really excited about Saturday. It will be the first meet and greet for the new group. We know of a few people that are going to attend but not sure how many will be there. Things are in the works and we are having alot of fun planning and getting things going. Saturday will also be a day that we get to see our friends Todd and Suzy from A.S.S.. After the meet and greet we both decided to get hotel rooms and get together for some spanking play. Spanking play is always a good thing though and spending time with friends is alot better as well add them together and it is a perfect way to end a weekend.

I am also very excited for March to get here as we have alot of things going on in March as well. March 12th will be a very busy day for us as we have alot going on. starting at 11 in the morning and pretty much lasting until 2 or 3 in the morning. That's the first meet for a new group called Tampa ties. after that meet there is the local munch and then that night is Fetish Circuit that we will be attending for the first time. I am not as nervous as i thought I would be. I get to experience it with my good friend Katia and things look like Thomas might also be able to attend with us. Not sure yet if he plans to or not. I arranged the sitter in case he does.

I also need to work on some videos for the store and will get some done this week. I caught up the house on cleaning this weekend so I just have to keep it up and get on the kids about their messes as they tend to mess things up shortly after it is cleaned. So far this year has started out very promising. I have a job, we got a nice car, we started the new group, I get to experience the Fetish Circuit and more BDSM type things as well. As long as I can keep my health at bay I should be fine. LOL. Well I am off to straighten up the house a little more then go with Katia to work on our website. As soon as we have the site up and running I will let everyone know.

So don't forget if you are in the local area or going to be in the Tampa area around the 27th and would like to attend our "Spanking shamrocks" party just drop us an email and we will get you the information.

Fetish Circuit and nerves LOL

Last night Katia and I meet with the owner of Fetish Circuit  over dinner. He is a great guy and very funny. He gave us quite a few ideas on getting our group started and some contacts that can help us as well. The service and the food was not that great but the time with him and the fun we had at the meeting was awesome. If you live near Tampa or visit Tampa then Fetish Circuit  is a great place to go to find some kinky fun.

We also got to talk about Fetish Circuit and Katia and I are both very excited to go in March. I am a little nervous though as I have never been to a fetish party besides the spanking parties. But, since we already meet the owner, my nerves are not that bad this time around and I think we will both feel alot more comfortable our first time around. She and I are both looking into getting corsets. My chest size though, being very large, might make one difficult to find. LOL.

Starting this group, going to our very first munch and meeting new people in the scene has been a very wonderful experience. Being able to share my experiences with Thomas and my readers is also a great thing. The fetish community is one that I have found very welcoming and friendly. In all social groups and large gatherings of people you are going to find some kind of drama and things. But really that is minor from what I have seen. You have the occasional bad break ups and things and all that and people that just don't get along. But in the overall scene there are some of the best people and most friendly people around willing to help newbies and those that are just starting their journeys to the fetish lifestyle.

I feel very lucky to have quite a few people that I can call good friends. I was talking to someone at work the other night about that as well. We were talking about someone that she thought was a friend and it lead to us discussing good friends. Katia and I were talking on the way home last night also about how some people cant understand our relationships and things like that. I guess some of it might be that other people dont want to accept that we are happy we have a good thing in our lives and we found someone that treats us good and also allows us to be who we are.

Thomas is not really into the whole BDSM scene and not as interested as Katia and I are about a few things. But having the relationship that we do he doesn't hold me back from experiencing it and having fun with it. He supports my eagerness with the group, with going to local fetish events and things and it is great to be able to talk to him about things that I learned, saw, or want to experience and not have to worry that our relationship will change.

As many have witnessed along my journey with Thomas and this lifestyle I have changed in many ways. And the change is a good thing. I used to be a shell, shy quiet and reserved I was afraid of change and things and went through the motions of life everyday without being able to actually experience life. I was seldom happy and I seldom had much to look forward to. I went through much counseling and fought many bouts of depression and things. I have been through alot and struggled through life alone and scared. I had friends and still have those friends but things have really changed in my thinking and my over all feelings and things and I have grown and learned many things in the last four years of my life.

Thomas and I still have our moments in life. Life is still a struggle as far as bills, etc.etc. But it doesn't get to me like it once did. Stressful situations aren't able to overcome me and depress me like they once did. Even in the struggle even when things get rough and hard I have someone to hold my hand. I have a foundation to stand on and someone else that is there to help me through. No amount of counseling or therapy can do that. I can't even remember the last time I had a PTSD flashback and they were once pretty common occurrences even when I first meet Thomas. It still bothers sometimes when people say things like I am weak or Thomas doesn't take care of me and my needs and so on and so on. But reality has proven that to be the furthest thing from the truth. I don't live in constant fear of what might happen to me next or what he might do to me from one day to the next. instead I go to bed with with a feeling of being loved, I can look forward to tomorrow even when it is uncertain.

All work and No play (well at least not yet) LOL

Things are really coming along for Tampa Tanners. I finally got the registrations uploaded to the yahoo groups files. I also have the Vendor fair registration available for any vendors that would like to attend. I went shopping yesterday for the March party getting the decorations and the party favors and gifts. it was alot of fun. Wish I had Katia with me but I went solo. I had to take my son to the doctor so I kept the car that day and had some time in the morning so I just decided to go and look. Well that looking lead to buying and I probably spent a little more then I wanted to but that's okay I had fun doing it. LOL.

I have also decided that since my video stores are primarily for fun and not out to make a whole lot of money for us that all the videos I make and sell on my clips for sale and spanking library store the proceeds will all go to the Tampa Tanners group. So it is really a win win situation for me and the group. I get to have fun making and shooting the videos that in return will contribute to having fun planning and organizing local spanking parties and events. So how can I lose.

We have done alot of things for planning and still have alot more to do but I think that it is awesome and fun and we are loving the work and getting to meet everyone. It also gives me some creativity fun and fun shopping and things. Spanking wise at least I will be able to get spanked more often as well. LOL

There is also a new group I found that started in the Tampa area that is called Tampa ties. Bondage is something I am really really interested in so I am planning on going to their first meeting right before the next munch in March. I'm very excited about that as well.

I recently had a friend that I had met at my first Allstate party send a very short email and all that it said was I remember a very shy timid girl her first party and now look. I am amazed myself at how much I have overcome in the last four years and how much I have been able to grow and learn and experience new things. And I really look forward to being able to help those other newbies that will be shy and reserved as I once was. I can't believe I went from being so shy I hid behind Thomas the whole night to what I am today producing spanking videos and planning and organizing spanking events in my area. It has been a thrilling wonderful ride! I can't thank all the wonderful people that I have meet along the way either that helped make that happen. I know my journey is not over yet either. I have much more to learn and experience in this lifestyle and alot more I am curious about and ready to learn. So going to that first munch the other day really made me want to go play more LOL. Pretty soon I might blossom into a bondage whore or aomething you just never know.

Frustration

Yesterday Katia and I got together to do some things we needed to do for the Tampa Tanners. One of those was signing the contract for the hotel for our big party in August. We sat down with the hotel manager and as we were talking and asking questions it came up that the hotel we had secured and thought would work really wouldn't work. Not only was the room we were going to get only big enough for about 40 people it was right on the main floor by the hotel desk and we were a little concerned about the noise from a spanking party. When we were told that there would be the possibility of being kicked out of the hotel should someone complain with out a refund we decided then that would not be an option for us. We weren't going to have a bunch of spanko friends and things come to a party where we might be asked to leave. So we have a change of plans as far as that goes.

We decided to go have lunch at Perkins where we will be holding our meet and greet this month. We also worked on a party and meet and greet schedule for the year which we will also be posting in our groups and websites real soon. We called another hotel that was mentioned by the hotel manager of the other hotel since she knew the other manager as well and they had a nice ball room. It was a very nice hotel and the ball room was perfect. The only problem is the cost. Not sure how we will handle this as we are still looking around. If we decide to use that hotel then the cost for the whole event almost triples and we only get the use of one room.

Our plan was to also do a promo video that day but I worked third shift for 10 hours and had been awake for about 28 hours total so my mind and self was not functioning all the way LOL. Katia and I are both very dedicated to making this group work out and growing and providing Spankos another choice of friendly places to get together in the Tampa area. We are really having fun even though things can get frustrating and it is harder then I once thought. But we won't give up! Tampa tanners has a whole lot of potential and we have found alot of support from many people in the community who would like to also see Tampa Tanners go far.

A Special thanks goes out to fetish Circuit in Tampa. The organizer has done alot to give us ideas and is going to be meeting with us over dinner to help us with things and getting started. We are also planning a few things with another person well known in the spanking community who is looking to plan an event within our event. Once things are worked out and we know more more information on that will come through. We are opening an account for the Tampa Tanners group as well and looking to maybe holding a few fund raisers and things to get the group off the ground and be able to afford the big parties with out having to charge as much for the party fees. Alot of implement makers and things have come forward and helped by donating door prizes and gifts for the event. We also have a few bigger bloggers and things that will help us promote our group and parties. I'm not a newbie anymore but with only four years in the community I can say that I have meet some of the most wonderful people I have known through it and the support and friendliness that you find in this group is very large.

Has much as I hate asking for donations I certainly won't turn any down. Either gift wise, money wise or just word of mouth and advertising we could use all the help we can get right now. I'm going to be looking around at options and things and we hope to go pretty far. Once was just an idea is turning out to be alot more and I like it that way! LOL Anyway I have lots to do not only for the Tampa tanners group but my family as well. Tomorrow is lottery day maybe I can win and we can throw a really big wild spanking party. If that happens hell Ill buy a hotel and make it into a spanking paradise LOL.

March Tampa Tanners "Spanking Shamrocks" party

Today Katia and I are getting together to make a special promo video for our August party and get together a Tampa Tanners schedule for 2011. We will be pretty busy bees! Queen bees that is LOL. But it is alot of fun so far. I have heard news that one of the more popular spanking parties will be holding their last party this year. It was a well known group and I had the pleasure of meeting the organizers in Texas last year. It is our hope that we might soon get as big as them and other known groups around spanko land. If any readers are also bloggers please feel free to post about our new group and upcoming parties. The more the merrier and we need publicity since we are still so new. Katia and I have lots of things planned and are having fun doing this even though it is alot of work. Here is the information for our first monthly small spanking party.

Something new

Yesterday afternoon Katia, Thomas and I were able to attend the local munch in our area. It was a little scary at first since I have never been to one and I didn't know what to expect. it was quite interesting though and we meet some really nice people in the lifestyle. Of course the lifestyle was more then just spanking but it was not much different then attending a spanking party except there was no spanking going on. I always enjoy my time with Katia and Thomas though and this was no different. Katia and I were able to network a little and we talked to a few people. One in particular was helping us with marketing and advertising skills.

After the munch we all three went back to our house and talked about some things for Tampa Tanners. Mostly the party in August. We are in the works for planning the party and I am quite excited and nervous at the same time. We know it will be alot of work but we are still really excited to be a part of making this happen. This week Katia and I are going to get together plan some more. She is talking to someone that will give us a few pointers and things. As you may notice as well I also started another blog for Tampa Tanners. I will be keeping that blog updated with the latest party info, Meet and greets, and writings about how things are coming along with the group and events.  Visit Tampa Tanners Blog.

Since Katia and I are both interested in more then just the spanking side of this lifestyle we are looking to attend the fetish Circuit as well real soon. I just have to be careful because I work every weekend and i don't want to ask for to much time off of work because I want to keep my job as it is really nice to finally have one again and they are so few and far between now a days. Pretty soon though we should have the information available for people to start planning if they wish to come to our "Back to School" Bash spanking Party in August.

We have the location worked out we sat down and figured out the cost and how much we would need to charge to cover most of the cost for the hotel as well as the food and things. We also are starting an account for Tampa Tanners so that we can save and work on getting the money to hold a party. Spanking parties are quite expensive we are finding out. We would need at least 30 people to come to cover  a majority of the cost so we are hoping that will happen and we wont be spending way too much money to make this work.

So far I have about three places that are going to help sponsor the party by sending us some door prizes. And I am still looking for more as time goes on. So if anyone knows of anywhere that could help us out by donating a door prize we will in return link them on all of our websites and we will have a list printed up and distributed with the party registration packets and things. I am hoping to try to get a vendor fair started as well.

Well I have alot to do between the house. work and Tampa tanners so I am going to run for now. Anyone interested in vending. donating or attending the party can always contact me at c00kie_crawford@yahoo.com. or visit the Tampa Tanners sites and sign up.

Sharing something I watched on facebook

I saw this video today on facebook. I found it on you tube as well so I wanted to share it with everyone as it is a very important thing. I know plenty who text and drive and I have done it myself. After watching this though I don't think I will even if it is a short message.

Having fun with things

I was hoping with Thomas taking off work to get a car that we might get some time for spanking in but that didn't happen and the kids get off early today so I know it wont happen today. I worked on a few things for the group and have gotten the name tags for parties done. They look pretty decent. I bought primary color card stock and name badge holders for them and decided to color code the name tags. Red will be for bottoms and the blue for Tops. I have the yellow for newbie or observers and the green for switches. I was able to get our logo on them as well and here is what our name tags look like though they look alot better on the colored card stock and I have some craft scissors for scrap booking so I used though to cut them out and they have a nice border.

I have to work all this week and don't have another day off until I think Sunday. Kind of sucks though but I want to go to the Tampa munch with Katia and Thomas. I might be tired but Ill be there LOL. hopefully today Thomas will come home with a car. This walking to work and things is getting rather bothersome.

Monday night I had off but it was a real stressful day with the kids. Even with my oldest kids up North I was talking to Katia on the phone a little and she asked if I wanted to go out that night for some coffee. I was like yes I need a little break i was going to just get on the bus and go shopping when Thomas got home but going out with Katia was a much better option and we always have fun together. We went to Walmart and shopped for some things for the group. She always finds her way to the kitchen section and she found a really thick wooden spoon or spatula like thing and of course in the middle of walmart she was smacking her hand testing it. Some other customer mentioned that those used to scare him when he was little and Katia told him to come over and she would try it out. He didn't but he did say that he likes it now. LOL.

Afterwards we headed to the Todd since it was on the way and we were planning on going there anyway. We looked around at alot of things. they had a really nice flogger that I wanted though it was pretty pricey. I could probably have JP or someone else make me one alot cheaper. I also picked up the butt cake pan for Thomas's party. We didn't find a whole lot of things we could use though. Most of the stuff was either peckers or boobies like everywhere else. You would think an ass man would make more ass related novelties. LOL. It was a good night though and The Todd said we could place a flyer for the group in the store and they have a place for business cards as well. So we will be going back soon to do that.

Well I am off to go and rest a little before my little hellions get home.

Tampa Tanners very first Meet and Greet

We have finally got everything worked out and are ready to hold our very first Meet and Greet for Tampa Tanners. We are very excited about the new group and hope to reach quite a few of the local spankos. It will be fun to meet new people and plan and attend events and things. At work last night we were very slow and my coworkers and I brainstormed a few ideas for different events we can hold besides the spanking parties. We might try to hold a small spanking party for a couple of hours in April. It wont be real big like the one we are planning for August. But we are always working and looking for things to help the group. If you are in the Tampa area and would like to meet with us here is the information.

  Meet and Greet

February 26, 2011
@ Perkins

5002 Fowler Ave, Tampa Fl

2pm – 5pm

Tampa Tanners invites all spankos to attend our very first meet and greet. The meet and greets are a great way to get to know other local spanking enthusiasts in the area in a friendly non-threatening setting, and to meet the Tampa Tanners leaders. We will also discuss options and suggestions for future events and parties. Please remember that it is held at a local family restaurant where kids and vanilla families will also be present, so please dress accordingly. We will be meeting in the back room, so tell the hostess when you arrive that you are with the Tampa Tanners group (They do not know that we are a spanking group). There is no charge to attend the meet and greet, however, we ask that you tip the server generously for their time.



WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU THERE!!!!!

I have no clue who wrote this but it was shared in a group I belong to. I thought it was so very true that I would share.

I am only a mother

The officer at the Driving License counter asked the lady "What is your occupation?"
The woman seeking renewal of her license seemed to be puzzled. So the officer said "Ma'am, are you employed, have your own business or................
The woman replied "Oh, yes!! I have a full time occupation. I am a mother"
Officer: "We don't have 'mother' as an option for occupation.
I will write it down as 'Housewife'. That takes care of all questions."
This had happened long ago, and was forgotten. Years later when I went to get my license, the Public Relations Officer was a somewhat pompous.woman.
"Your occupation?" she asked in a rather authoritative tone.
I just had an inspiration and replied "I am a researcher in the field of Child Development, Nutrition and Inter-personal Relationships"
The lady officer stared at me in amazement. I calmly repeated my statement and she wrote it down verbatim. Then, unable to conceal her curiosity, she politely asked "What exactly do you do in your profession, Ma'am?"
I was feeling good about having described my occupation so calmly and confidently. So I replied "My research projects have been going on for a number of years (Mothers never retire!!). My research is conducted in the laboratory as well as in the field. I have two bosses. (One is God and the other is my entire family). I have received two honours in this field. (A son and a daughter) My topic is considered to be the most difficult part of sociology.(All moms will agree!!). I have to work more than 14 hours every day. Sometimes even 24 hours are not enough and the challenges are tougher than many other professions. My compensation is in terms of mental satisfaction rather than money"
I could see that the officer was thoroughly impressed. After completing the licensing formalities, she came to the door to see me off.
This new viewpoint about my occupation made me feel much better on my way back home. I was welcomed by my 5 year old research assistant at the door. My new project (my 6 month old baby) was energetically practicing her 'music'.
I had earned a small victory over the Governmental red tape today. I was no longer 'merely a mother', instead I was now a highly placed functionary in a service vital for mankind -Motherhood!!
'Mother' - Isn't it a great title. Fit to be added to the nameplate on the door!! By this standard, grandmothers deserve to be called Senior Research Officers, and Great Grandmothers qualify as 'Research Directors'. Aunts and other ladies of that age group can be called 'Research Facilitators'
Please share this with all mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers, all ladies currently holding posts like didi-tai-chachi-mami-mausi-bua ...... They will all shower you with blessings and life will be happier.

So I could have had a very fancy name these past two years that I had no outside job? Sure I would get it after I find a job LOL. I liked it hope all you moms did as well. Sorry it wasn't spanking related but if it helps it was a spanking group I found it in LOL

WOW

Okay so when Katia and I get an idea we go big LOL. I have had a whole lot of fun getting things going with Tampa Tanners and both of us are amazed at the response we are getting so far. I have been busy pimping our name everywhere I can and so has she. I think once we get the first meet and greet organized and post it as an event and once we get a car and I can go to adult shops and local areas and pimp it out some more we should have a bigger response as well.

I went shopping last night as I was looking for some materials for the group such as name tags and things like that. I didn't find what I was looking for though but I did find an interesting spanking implement. LOL Well it is not really for spanking but it certainly can be. it is a flexible ruler of some kind. It is flexible plastic and looks like a ruler but to my spanko mind it looked like a pretty strap. I bought all the ones they had for our party or parties in the future and just so I can have one to try out. Haven't tried it out yet but hope to soon.

I think Monday i will be working on making a spanking video for my store as i also need to keep up with those. I can get carried away with things when i have my mind set and Tampa Tannershas been on my mind and a project i have been doing alot on. LOL.

I added some things to the group when I started to see that many different people are interested in a spanking group in Tampa. I really hope that Tampa Tanners can remain friendly so I decided to add this to the home page........Please use common courtesy here. We are a friendly bunch and would like to keep it that way. Be respectful and considerate to each other. We all have different likes and that is what makes us all unique. Please remember that when you see something that might not interest you, you are under no obligation to join in or like what you see. However what not be your cup of tea may be someone Else's and we ask that you respect everyone's differences and keep rude or nasty comments and things to yourself. We all share a common interest and that is spanking. But Spanking is a very general term and there are about as many ways to enjoy spanking as there are spankos. Tampa Tanners is a private friendly social spanking group and anyone found to be rude or anything but friendly will be removed and not welcome to our group or our events. Drama is a genre for movies not something I want around my life and friends.

I have seen a whole lot of drama elsewhere at parties and things and while I know that you can't always remain drama free when ever you get a bunch of people together I really hope that we can keep it civil and friendly.
Anyway I have so so much to do I want to make a cake, clean the house and a few other things but I also want to stay on the computer and work on Tampa Tanners some more. What is a busy girl do to? so many things to choose from *giggles*.

A very productive fun day

Okay so Katia and I were out and about today and we were shopping having lunch and checking out local hotels. We found a whole lot of great things for the party in May and Katia had fun trying out kitchen utensils and hairbrushes on my backside in the store as we shopped. We even got some smiles from the cashier who rang up 10 wooden hairbrushes some kitchen spatulas that can obviously be for spanking and other spanking related things. At first with the hand slappers he thought it was a kids party till he kept going and we told him it was an adult party. LOL. We stopped at TGIF's for lunch and then went hotel shopping. Well we saw some nice hotels and we were going to look at more till we got to the last one.

At the last hotel we checked out the sales manager was showing us a room that was the meeting room since none of the suites were open to show it was only to show us the size of the suite but as we entered the room we quickly realized that the room she showed us was pretty decent as far as a party room. We all got to talking though and it turns out she is pretty kinky herself. I mentioned that there was going to be some spanking and she rolled with it telling us that she could arrange things so we could have privacy and not disturb the guests and also gave us a sweet rate and discount on things. So the party in May is set. I asked to look at the banquet room or other meeting room just out of curiosity and then Katia and I and the hotel manager got to brainstorming ideas for spanking parties. We then decided that we were going to start our own local spanking group and hold parties and things at the hotel. In the car we were thinking of names to call it and we came up with Tampa Tanners. We goggled it to see that there was no other group called that and no matches were found. We then decided on that being our groups new name.

Here is the logo we made with the groups name so far. We have lots planned for the group and it will take some time getting established I am sure. But we look forward to having some fun times with fun spanko friends.

We already have the yahoo group started and I started a group on Fetlife as well. Katia and I will be working hard to get things rolling and we hope to have the first big party in August. If you are in the Tampa area or just a friendly Spanko that might like to join us for a party some time please join the group. All membership has to be approved by the leaders of the group Katia, Thomas, and myself. We are working on all the other details and things as well.

Well I have lots to do and have to work tonight. I will keep everyone informed as things progress.

Planning a party

Alot goes in to planning a spanking party. The party I am planning is small but I am finding that it is not that easy even when you are trying to have a small get together with some spanking friends. i can only imagine what others that have and plan major parties must go through each time.

yesterday I looked around online for some party favors. I found a whole lot of penis and tit things but finding ass shaped things proved to be very difficult. The only thing I saw was the butt cake pan. I found it for a good deal though at only 9.95 so I will be ordering that today probably. I need to go and get a cake decorating kit as well as i want to start decorating the kids cake and just for fun cakes for my family. Of course the butt cake will be interesting as well. I will have to take pictures and our family might get a whole lot of ass cake to eat while i practice LOL.

If anyone knows where I can get some ass shaped balloons or anything like that please let me know. They have penis and tit shaped but so far no ass. I did see a spanking crew card and buttons that had a hand print as the logo that I might get as well.

Katia and I are getting together tomorrow and hopefully looking at some hotels and going shopping. I think one of our stops will be the Todd and spencers. I just really don't know where to go looking for that kind of stuff and I am sure they are out there somewhere. As big as I know the spanking community to be I cant believe there isn't more spanking related and ass party favors. Someone needs to patent them and make some money. LOL

Anyway I am off to clean and get the house together and all since I have off today and get a girls day with Katia tomorrow. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas or know where i can get some interesting ass party favors and things LOL.
