I'm Back

2012-01-30T09:24:00.002-05:00

truth is I never really left I have just been way swapped with life and things I have not had any chances to update or anything. So sorry about that. I will certainly get better with that for sure i hope now that life has settled down just a little.

I have so much to write about but I won't try to play catch up at this point to much has happened in the last few months to try to catch up on.

But I will share that we had a great first party of the year. Meet some new people who seemed to enjoy themselves alot and we look forward to seeing again. It was still a smaller group so we were in the suite but it was almost enough that we wouldn't have had room for anymore so that is a good thing.

Todd and Suzy got to join us this month and as always it was a blast having them Suzy is certainly the life of any party as she has such a friendly bubbly attitude and is always a joy. There were some new people and of course that also means some new toys for everyone to admire. Suzy is always the first to look at it and say i want to try it. So there was quite a few test spanks at this party.

Since it was a Sunday party Duncan was able to join us again and he has been a blast for the past year and with us from the beginning he always gives a good spanking and has the brightest smile all the time gotta love him.

WE had two new couples join us. Not new to the scene but new to us. And a new single guy came as well. Lucky for him he won the cane that we had as a door prize. Both raffles we have had ended up being won by someone either new to the scene or someone that has not alot of implements themselves so that is always a good thing. He enjoyed himself and we were glad to have him.

I was able to get a great spanking from one of the couples Top. I have meet him before at local BDSM events but I believe this was their first spanking party. He has a very unique spanking technique and I was glad to get the chance to play with him before we started the Spankopoly game.

WE will have some pictures soon as soon as we get them. Of course they will be of Todd and Suzy Katia Thomas and I and Duncan. We don't allow pictures unless everyone is okay with them and lately only us have been which is fine with us. Never want to pressure anyone into something they dont want. Ill be sharing those pictures as well.

While this party was certainly a blast like all of them have been I am really looking forward to the next party in February. That party is becoming one of our biggest. ill be ordering a special paddle from cane-iac.com for the spank the heart contest. We have secured a DJ for a dance at this party and i am waiting to hear back from a local photographer about having a photo booth available for special memories photos. We will also have door prize/s and lots of fun and spanking. Ill be going all out on the goodies as well for this party.

This party in February will mark the 1st year anniversary for Tampa Tanners so we want to make sure it is a special one. Sure hope we have lots of guests join us and spend this special moment with us.

here's a flyer for this event and if you are in the Tampa area and enjoy spanking parties and fun please join us as well. Send me an email or email info@tampatanners.com for more info and to RSVP.

Happy Spanksgiving!

Spooky Spanktacular and Spanksgiving celebration

2011-11-10T09:45:00.003-05:00

This post is way overdue for the Spooky spanktacular. It was alot of fun and we had some great new faces to join us and everyone had a blast. Some of the highlights of the party were spanking the ghost, the spanking monster and of course Shy's birthday Spankings, the raffle drawing. I'm going to share some pictures as well that I finally got around to editing and getting permissions to post and all. Lot's of things to do in between parties. Before I go into the juicy details of the Halloween party I'd like to post some information on our next party which is the Spanksgiving celebration. This party will be November 19th at 5PM-till whenever and will be held in a private hotel suite. The food for this party will include a whole feast in keeping with the Thanksgiving and Spanksgiving theme we will have turkey, stuffing, corn, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce etc. etc. the cost of the party is again $25 per person or $ 40 per couple but we are offering a discount for anyone that brings a dish to share. The fees will be $15 per person or $30 per couple if you also bring a dish to share for the feast. If you want information and will be in the Tampa area during this time please RSVP to info@tampatanners.com we will then send you all the details on attending the party and where it will be held.

Now on to the party pictures and details.

Thomas takes great efforts to be the Tampa Tanners mascot for our parties. I am trying to talk him into being a turkey for our Spanksgiving celebration but he wont do it LOL. For the Halloween party Thomas dressed the part of a spanking monster and even made a spanking cave for him to drag his victims into. It was alot of fun and here are a few pictures of that.

At one point I had to take off my fake eyelashes and Thomas decided to play with them and try them on here's a pic of that as well. Doesn't he look so cute?

Now I am not going in any particular order of course since I am now talking about the pre party fun we had with Todd and Suzy the night before the actual party. That was up until I had to go to work. LOL. Thomas and Suzy had a neat chalkboard paddle from cane-iac.com and one of the decorations for the Halloween party even got some spanking action in it was fun. WE also played around with some bondage for fun LOL here's a few pics of that as well.

We had a pinata that was a ghost and we had alot of fun spanking the ghost with a wooden spanking stick before switching over to the aluminum paddle to get the ghost to release the goodies. here's some pictures of that adventure when we were trying to get the pinata hung it was proving difficult since the hotel ball room didn't have alot of options. but i love our hotel they take great care of us and even drilled a screw in the ceiling to hang our pinata from. while we were decorating I played around and acted like I was going to lick the ghosts ass LOL Katia took a pic as I was doing that though so there is a funny pic of that to share

Of course our baby Tanner celebrated a birthday with us. Katia and i were surprised to see a hello kitty cake the very first place we went to get her cake. Shy wasn't sure she was going to make it though so we took a picture of the cake and told her that if she didn't come we were holding the kitty hostess and we were planning on hanging the kitty with a noose. LOL she made it though and saved the kitty plus got plenty of spanksgiving as well. She even had us all sign her bottom as before we gave her the birthday spankings. She's such a cutie and we love her to death. here's a few pictures of that as well.

Now not only did Shy get alot of birthday spankings Shy wanted to spank Cookie at one point and i let her. Oh my goodness that girl went to spanking town on my poor bottom LOL but it was fun and here's a picture of that as well.

WE had quite a few guests and lot's of cute costumes including a kinky flapper, a mouseketeer, a referee, spanking stars, a spanking monster, a naughty nurse and doctor, some Halloween shirts and things. As well as a few just dressed as Tops and bottoms LOL. not everyone is okay with sharing pictures though so here are a few that are okay so you can see some of the costumes. Some are just goofy fun.

The doctor and nurse were newbies to both the scene as well as our parties. The Spooky Spanktacualr was their first ever party and there were a few other firsts as well for them as the nurse was never spanked in front of anyone else or by anyone else other then the doctor by the end of the party though that was not the case anymore and she was brave enough to be spanked by Thomas and The doctor of course got ahold of katia and i during the misfortune cookie game. For those that don't know what I am talking about I'll explain. Paddles and panties have a nice box of misfortune cookies that they sell. While they attended the party in August Katia and I picked up a box each and thought that would be fun for a party. In each fortune cookie there is misfortune with a number of swats and implement to be used. They person that gets the fortune can then find a spanker to spank them as the fortune says or if a spanker gets one they can find a bottom to give the fortune to we had some great fun with that as well. here's a few pictures of both the newbies and the misfortune spankings

The parties are so much fun there is so much that goes into throwing the parties and making sure that everyone enjoys themselves. We are really happy that most newbies that attend always have a positive experience with the Tampa tanners group and provide us alot of good feedback and we are always glad to have them and new people to the group just not the scene. At the Halloween party most of the guests were new with the exception of course of some of our core members who have been there since day one with us such as Todd and Suzy and Shy and Duncan.

WE had the raffle though the winner can not allow pictures so we can't show that but it was fun and we had a great time with it. We let the birthday girl do the drawing and I have a clip of that as well. the drawing part only though.

Here's a few more pics that I would like to share of some of the fun we always have at the parties. I hope you enjoy and we look forward to meeting many more new spankos at future parties. If you want to join us just send me a quick email and i am more then happy to help you join us

Tampa Tanners Cookout September 2011

2011-10-01T11:54:00.008-04:00

I got some pics from the September Tampa Tanners. cookout which was alot of fun. We were quite resourceful Spanko's that day as we ended up in a very nice secluded spot with a little secret spanking spot. So we of course made use of that spot. LOL

We had a few new faces including a couple that is very new to the party scene of this lifestyle and we got to talk some with them. Luckily we didn't scare them and they are preparing to join us in October for their first party experience and our Halloween party. We look forward to seeing them again.

We had some great food as well. The Hamburgers were not that great but that is besides the point. LOL The newbies brought a variation of my favorite dessert. I love dirt cake and have made it often with the kids. This recipe though was a little different then I am used to but was a big hit. It was made with real cake not just the pudding that i use and it was put in sand buckets not a flower pot like I make. They made chocolate and Strawberry Banana it was yummy. We had chips, potato salad, deviled eggs, sodas, hotdogs, hamburgers and there ended up being two cakes. The one cake i had to take home as the dirt cake was so popular we never even cut the other cake. LOL

When Katia and i finally got to the park it was busy and almost all the pavilions were reserved for something. We drove around a little and found the perfect spot as well as the only unreserved spot in the whole park. It was located close to a child's birthday party but far enough away that no one would pay any attention to us or hear anything. At one point when it started raining we noticed the birthday party was slow and not many kids around to use the big jumping thing they had. It was the shape of a castle and had a slide. Of course us fun filled girls decided to go talk to them and see if we couldn't take a turn on the slide of course I stayed back thinking they were nuts until of course they actually got permission and I ran to try to get a picture of them trying to go down the slide. Apparently it was hard and i believe Jeremy and katia were the only Two who actually made it down the slide. Right when katia was coming down I went to take a picture up close but my phone ended up ringing so I answered it. I am actually talking on the phone as she came down. Thank goodness Todd got a picture it was such fun. here's the pictures of that including me running/walking fast to get to the bouncy thing after them.

Most of the day was spent talking and there were some good conversations. However no spanko can resist the chance to play even just a little if it is there. So many of us that were open to it took a few tuns behind the secret wall for some spanking play. Jeremy was quite willing to lend a helping hand as the spanker for most of it. At one point during the spankings it started raining. And my streamers fell down in the rain. After I took a short but sweet hand spanking from Jeremy I picked up the streamer wet as it was and headed to throw it away. Someone asked why i had red all over me and i looked down to see where the streamer had bleed all over my shirt and legs and hands. I took the opp to smear a little on my butt though I got the thigh more then anything then pointed it out to Jeremy saying look what you did to me. Todd was able to snap a pic of that as well.

I had brought alog the cane-iac items that were donated for the Lupus foundation as well as for the raffle that will be drawn at the October party. In talking to Jeremy we were able to get him to buy a cane from cane-iac to benefit the Lupus foundation and he quickly stated that if he did everyone that is willing will get a chance to try it out with him. Of course Suzy, katia, Shy and i had no problems lending our bottoms for him to test it out. He is quite happy with his purchase as well. Here's a few of those spanking pics.

Jeremy was not the only one that got to spank. Of course Thomas got some time as well and as always the other bottoms were oh so helpful as well. Someone brought over a spatula for Suzy i believe it was Katia. LOL. Then when Jeremy was spanking Shy Suzy decided to help with the spatula as well.

There were so many things happening it was so much fun. We are looking forward to the October party and having another cookout soon. Here's a few more pics enjoy!!!!

The Spanking Court

2011-09-30T15:46:00.004-04:00

Well I was going to write about the Tampa Tanners. picnic today but I received the pictures from both today and wanted to share those with everyone.

Having the The Spanking Court. at the back to School Bash for Tampa Tanners. was a blast. Everyone that was there had alot of fun and it was a wonderful experience.

I hope you enjoy and please visit http://spankingcourt.com to see the full videos as they come available.

Randomness again

2011-09-29T08:55:00.002-04:00

So I haven't written much lately again. Life is very hectic for me as I have alot going on in both my vanilla and kinky world. Besides I have been a little under the weather and without a whole lot of energy. So I am not even sure where to begin. LOL. This post might be a little scattered though so fair warning.

I will probably go backwards and start with whats fresh in my mind. Last night I had off and I was able to head to a place called Wicked Wednesdays. It is a group that meets at a local bar and has a night where the bar is converted into a play space with some dungeon furniture and things. And it is a pretty relaxed atmosphere as well. Since I am not just into spanking I have alot of fun meeting and playing with others in the BDSM scene as well. And the people that run this event are very nice and friendly and we have a great time just socializing as well. It still kind of amazes me the differences in the scenes between spanking parties and BDSM events. But nonetheless both scenes have there ups and downs and I love it when we can mix the two. I'm still learning the differences and met some great people who are friendly and not afraid to help us out if we make a mistake. That's always a plus.

I have met a really sweet guy at the Wicked Wednesday that I try to play with each time. he has a violet wand and he really knows how to use it LOL. I enjoy the time with him and the wand and he is super sweet even without the wand. There is a running joke about how I just want his wand. Yes that's a plus but I also like him as a person as well LOL. I was able to experience the wand with him again last night. It is so relaxing and nice. Being in a bar though the music and things can be a distraction. But i tend to close my eyes and forget about the surroundings while we play. It is nice and I usually can. Last night though we couldn't stay as long as we usually do plus I'm on medicine that makes me super sensitive. But I enjoyed every minute of it. He also gives a massage with and without the wand so it is nice. I joke about wanting to bring him home with me all the time.

We also brought along a spanker with us. Jeremy just moved to the Tampa area and he attended our cookout. We had talked to him about the Wicked Wednesdays and a few things around Tampa. So when we knew we were going we asked if he wanted to join us. he had just started a new job and had to be up early so we made it a quick night. Leaving earlier then usual since it is over an hour drive to get home or there. Last night I actually spent more time driving then i did at the event. I left my house at 6:10 to pick up Jeremy and katia and we arrived at the event around 8:30. A few stops like for gas and sodas and we took a few minutes at Katias house. But it was still a long drive. we left the event around 11 and I got home about 1 something. So yes it is alot of driving to attend but so worth it.

The weekend before we had the Tampa Tanners cookout at picnic Island. this is where we meet Jeremy. He has a great personality and is alot of fun. At the picnic we were able to meet a few new faces and spent some quality time with other spanko friends we haven't seen in awhile. i always love when a new person joins us. I'll write a post about the picnic though I am just waiting on some pictures from it. It turned out to be alot more then we thought and a blast. So I have lots to tell about that event.

When we got to Wicked Wednesday we introduced Jeremy to some of the people we knew. And he was eager to play. LOL First he played pool with one of the others and we sat and talked to some of the people we have not seen in awhile. As soon as he got back though Jeremy was quick to grab my hand and lead me over to the couch for an OTK hand spanking. This is the first i got to experience his OTK spanking style and it was fun. After he warmed me up with his hand he lead me over to a spanking bench. And he had a paddle that Katia had gotten from Paddles and Panties. So we played with the paddle and a strap. Shortly after the spanking started Katia started bringing other implements over to him from out of her bag. So there was lots of spanking things going on she was quite helpful handing him canes, paddles, straps and even the blue rubber hose thing that is wicked. I had given it to her so it wouldn't be used on me LOL. Eventually another person also joined in the fun adding a different implement to the mix. It was some rubber like riding crop that was very thick. It is hard to explain but Jeremy wants one now. He asked if he could join in since he had two of them so him and Jeremy were both spanking me with those thing. It was alot of fun though and my bottom is still sore from the spanking and i like it. it has been a little while since I got to play since we didn't have a party this month and i seldom if ever get the chance to play with Thomas.

Speaking of play with Thomas we were able to get some play in the night before the BBQ. I got a really nice hand spanking and then some sexual play as well. it was nice to connect with Thomas again since we really tend to drift apart most of the time with the living arrangements. I tease him about needing a boyfriend and about how we live together but never get any time with each other. So having that playtime was really nice.

We are getting ready now for the Spooky Spanktacular event in October and I am getting ready to decorate the house. my daughter is coming home next week so i might just wait till she does so we can do it together. She has been gone for the last two years and i miss her greatly. So I can't wait to see her next Friday. I'll be pretty busy catching up with her and things and helping her find a school here.

So I have alot on my plate between her coming home, my sons at home, Tampa Tanners, work and alot more things. I will certainly try to keep up more I feel bad when I don't post and share the fun times we have lately.

September Spanko Cookout

2011-09-12T16:35:00.002-04:00

To wrap up the summertime Tampa Tanners has decided to do something different for their September meet and greet. instead of meeting for lunch at TGIF's we have planned a spanko Cookout. This event will be held at 7409 Picnic Island Blvd Tampa Florida On September 24th from 12PM-5PM. Picnic Island is a great park with a beach area so our guests and us will get the chance to also go swimming weather provided. I sure hope mother nature cooperates for us. LOL. This event is a free event but we do ask that anyone that attends brings an item to share for the picnic. Tampa Tanners will provide the Hot dogs and Hamburgers and drinks. So it is kind of like a potluck dinner. I have a special dessert in mind that I might decide to make as well. We sure hope that if you are in the Tampa area and would like to join us for some outdoor food fun and games we will see you there. If you have any questions or anything just shoot one of us an email or email info@tampatanners. Tickets will also be available at this event for the cane-iac cane set raffle. They will be $1.00 per ticket and this is one of the last events before the drawing at the Spooky Spanktacular in October.

Vendor Fair

2011-08-30T08:24:00.011-04:00

Saturday afternoon was the vendor fair at the Back to School Bash. We didn't have a whole lot of vendors but the few we had were very nice and we were able to pick up a few goodies for ourselves.

Most of the party I had the tables already set up for the vendors to use. So it really wasn't a set time though about 12 I went and changed into my purple outfit for my booth for the Lupus foundation and the raffle for the Cane-iac cane set. Also the Court took a break to get lunch and look at the vendor fair.

We had about four vendors if you include my booth as well. The first vendor was Paddles And Panties ran by Ms Cali. I was able to get a few things from her booth including some misfortune Cookies that we will be using for the next party. During the party cali also opened a box for everyone and we got to use though and get spanks and things. They are alot of fun and i love fortune cookies these are made better by having nice fortunes including spanks and with what. I also got 2 pairs of panties and a paddle with holes in it. The panties include a pair with a glow in the dark hand that I got as a gift for someone since i was already given a pair. The other pair was her seat of education panties that I ended up wearing under my school girl skirt for dinner. She has a wonderful selection of panties and they are all quite comfortable I am looking into getting the camo ones as well soon. Check out her great selection at Paddles And Panties and see all the wonderful things she has to offer. here's a few pics of her and her booth as well. The paddle he is using on her is the same type of paddle that I purchased.

Another vendor that we had was leather thorn he came for the whole party and i was able to get a pretty good spanking from him with a few of his paddles. I purchased a really nice purple leather strap type thing from him. I'm not sure what the name of it was but Ill have pictures to add tomorrow when I get my bag out of the car. LOL I was going to share some pictures with you today but realized i left my bag in the car and Thomas took it to work. He did sell a few items and here is a pic of Dana Kane and The Villain showing off their new paddles from him.

And here's a few pictures of all the beautiful leather paddles he had available.

He also holds a special name the paddle contest and the winner of that contest will receive the paddle for free. You can enter the one going on http://leatherthorn.homestead.com/Contest.html here Everyone was very happy with their purchases from him and he did very well he says given that we were such a small party. It was well worth his travel to come out here so I am sure he will be back for our next big party I sure hope so he was a delightful person and a great craftsmen as well. Not to forget he is a fine spanker to. Visit his site at leather thorn and get a very nice leather paddle today.

The other vendor we had was a guy I had met locally at the local fetish events and things. He vends at the local fetish circuit as well. So I was happy when he decided to join our group for the vendor fair. he had some really nice things and we were glad to have him. He also had a few things that were not only spanking related that peaked a few of our guests interests. but he also had a whole lot of paddles and things that were designed for real ouchy LOL. I purchased a Purple riding crop from him. I am really starting to get a arsenal of spanking implements in my little toy bag. LOL I usually pick the purple ones as well. LOL. Thomas picked a very large paddle from his table which you will see in the pictures. it was then used for Isabellas birthday swats LOL here's a few pictures of his table. L Means Leather does not currently have a website but he is local to the Tampa area and can be found at most of the fetish events and will probably return for another of our parties as well.

And of course the other table was set up by me for The Lupus foundation Of America. I had a few canes that cane-iac had sent to sell for a donation and I sold a few of those and a few of the raffle tickets for the cane set.Although the set for the raffle is a very nice 45 dollar set so we decided to extend the raffle until our Spooky Spanktacular party. This means that those online can also get a chance to enter. The winner will be announced and the set will be mailed to the winner if they are not present at the party. You can email me for for more info on that raffle which is still going on now. Here's a few pictures of that and the set that is available for the raffle.

This Lexan cane set available for the raffle being held now until October 23rd 2011. Tickets are 3.00 each and you can email me for your chance to win this beautiful set from cane-iac.

All of the vendors including cane-iac donated something for door prizes. So we had a very nice selection of prizes to give away at the dinner on Saturday. Everyone got something and then some I'll write more about that at a later date though here is a great picture of our wonderful door prize table.

I encourage all my readers to check out the above vendors. All of them were delightful people and they all have something for everyone that I am sure you will like. i am looking forward to having all these vendors and more at the Anniversary Bash in February 2013.

The Spanking Court comes to Tampa Tanners

2011-08-26T09:03:00.006-04:00

Tampa Tanners. was honored to welcome The Spanking Court. at our recent Back To School Bash. The Spanking Court. brought their show on the road all the way from California for live filming. They also attended the Back To School Bash. When they were not busy with filming and things their members were amongst the guests mingling and having some spanking fun. The whole cast and crew were wonderful people and it was such a pleasure to have them here in Tampa.

On Friday morning when we all arrived we saw some of the crew and welcomed them to Tampa. I saw Ms. Cali and Mr. Kauffman first and we said our hellos and started the process of setting up. We were in separate rooms but we saw a bit of each other as we were all setting up. Here's a few pictures of The Spanking Court. live filming set up as they were setting up.

Before Court officially started that night Dana Kane , The judge, The villain and Ms. Cali and Mr. kauffman as well as a few others that came with them came to the party room to mingle and get some play in. Red Palmer was eager to meet Dana Kane as he announced for the first time to us that he was a switch and would like to get a chance to be spanked at this party. After introductions and things Dana happily took Red Palmer to the hot seat to receive a Dana Kane spanking with a new toy from cane-iac. as well as the free cane they all received for registering early. Here's a few images of that fun time.

After we all mingled and ate pizza and things a little it was time for the Court to begin. I was a little nervous and tried to save my bottom for court I was glad that my court case was Friday night so my bottom wouldn't have had to much play and things before. Dazey had her case heard first in which I was a involved in. Her case involved her being Thomas and mine roommate and making a mess of the house and not doing as we asked her and things. I was glad that I got to be in her case first as it gave me an idea what to expect when it was my turn. The whole Court staff though was very friendly and they made it very fun and put everyone at ease. They walked you through everything and made sure everyone was comfortable with things so as not to make anyone nervous. It was a very nice experience and i can't wait till they return so I can do it again.

As far as cases the court had a full docket for the weekend. They had a few models coming that didn't attend the party but alot of the cases were also party goers so it was alot of fun. One of their models Ten Amorette attended the party and was alot of fun. Before Dazey, Katia and I went to court we got a picture of us holding our summons to appear in court. here's that picture.

When it was my turn I got really really nervous the judge, The villain, Dana Kane and Ms. Cali all made me really comfortable and helped put any of my fears at ease. I ended up being sentenced to 150 with the wooden paddle. The case Thomas brought before them was an actual case and a problem we have dealt with before. It was about me not taking my medicine like I should. The paddle that was used ended up cracking on number 148 or so. We continued though and i didn't know until the end. I was allowed to keep the paddle and the The villain signed it for me here's a pic of that as well.

The Court had a sentencing uniform we had to change into. I am glad I have gotten used to and comfortable with changing in front of others it made it alot easier for everyone. Once I got changed and things the paddling began. it was alot but it was fun and the Villain was very reassuring to begin and end. During though he was quite serious. We were given panties that say Guilty on them as you will see in the next pictures.

Here's me after my punishment in court and a picture of dazey and I both showing off our nice marks from the Court.

After that there were no cases for Friday night. During my court case in between cases the judge had had some fun with Katia and a few of the girls that liked rope. We also had a PJ party in our room after we left the ballroom and invited them to join us. A few minutes later the judge came to join us and we got to experience his unigue spanking style as well as his rope work. He is an awesome guy and we had alot of fun. We all had to get some rest though because the party and Court started bright and early.

The next cases started with Katia first thing at 8 in the morning. We all got up and went to breakfast before heading down to the party and court area. Thomas and katia went to make up as I went in to start things for the day and be there if any party goers show up as we were still waiting on a few to arrive.

Katias case was soon over and here's a pic of her bottom after court.

The Court then had a few other cases including a couple that came to us as newbies and have attended a few of our parties. They are a very nice and sweet couple and they certainly were glad to get the unique experience of the Spanking Court. Shy also had signed up to have a case heard. She of course as you probably already know is our youngest member and a whole bunches of fun and great personality. We love her to death. She was really really nervous and asked katia and i to sit in with her. After her make up and things we had a few minutes to wait as they were still taping a session with a model that came for the Court. So we sat in the lobby and talked with Shy and she was messing with the security guys. The conversation was hilarious as Shy is so funny and cute. She was telling us a story that involved Puddles but her meaning was quite different then the security guys. It was a hoot when she said she left puddles and the security guy asked who's that the family dog? We all busted into laughter and things. Shy talked the security guy into handcuffing her as well so we took a picture of her looking all innocent cuffed even before her court hearing. It was great times and I am glad we were able to be there for her before during and after her appearance in court. Shy did very well and the court was quite happy with her. Here's a picture of our innocent baby tanner as she has been nicknamed.

The Court was alot of fun and we all had a blast their was so many stories to tell and it was wonderful to meet and have them there for this event. I am also very excited that they want to return as well. I am looking forward to that very much. You couldn't ask for a nicer crew then them.

All the videos from The Tampa Spanking Court will probably soon be available on their site The Spanking Court. Check it out and become a member and see the great videos that were produced right here in Tampa at the Tampa Tanners. Back to School Bash. If you missed this event I encourage you to attend the next event they do as well. it will be an experience you will be happy with and take many memories with you.

I will also have the Lupus bracelets that are available for a $2.00 donation. or you can just donate any amount you would like to benefit the Lupus Foundation of America. I am a lupus fighter and I know a few others in the scene that are as well so it is going for a great cause. I'm also currently looking into having a benefit concert for the lupus foundation by a local band that comes into my work and mentioned that they want to have a benefit concert. They aren't kinky but it could be a fun night for a good cause I just won't bring the canes to that event LOL.

Speaking of cane-iac and the back to School Bash alot of our door prizes from the party were donated by them. I have a few stories and pictures to tell of that as well though I know i am not going in order for the Bash retelling but that's okay i have it all in memory so nothing will be forgotten.

As I mentioned there were some vanilla security working for the Spanking Court that we got to meet and talk with over the course of the Bash weekend. These really really awesome guys and when we get big enough to warrent security at our parties we will certainly be asking for these two. They were awesome and they even addmitted at dinner that when they first got the call they were not to sure about us or the event and it was strange to them but they accepted anyway. by the end of the weekend we had them laughing and joining us for dinner and door prizes. They also told us what a wonderful time they had and how down to earth and great everyone was. That made our night as well having a vanilla who knows nothing about our lifestyle or anything sit with us and not think we were all freaks and weird for what they were hearing and seeing that weekend was neat. one security guy even walked away with a spanking stick by L means leather. here's a few pictures from dinner and the door prize drawing where everyone got something and then some. I can only post the pics from the ones i got permission and some of course didnt even want their pictures taken but you can see it was a blast.

Back To School and the Bash

2011-08-23T10:35:00.012-04:00

This past weekend we hosted the Back To School Bash. Today the kids finally started back to school so I have some peace and quiet and the chance to get some kinky fun in while they are at school once again. I have lots to share about the back To School bash so i will probably have a few posts about it.

Our fun started Thursday night. Thomas and I took the kids to the sitters and headed over to katia's to spend some time with her before the Bash in the morning. it was wonderful i always love spending time with her even outside of the kinky fun at parties and things or shopping for and planning our events. Just being together helps both of us relax when we get nervous about upcoming events and things. We had alot to be nervous about with this party as well as it seemed things kept changing and people kept backing out. We were frustrated and scared about the outcome of the party. So we really enjoyed spending some time outside of the party atmosphere together and she lives closer to the hotel so it made it easier to all get up in the morning and head to the hotel as well.

Friday morning at bright and early we all got up. Katia and i had to run to the store for a few last minute things. Thomas headed out to pick up Dazey and we headed to the hotel to get things rolling and set up the room. We had over 40 people register and plan on coming but each day as it got closer the numbers went down and even as we were setting up we had a few cancels on us. This disappointed us quite a bit and we were a little worried about how we were going to afford the room without some of the fees we had planned on. So we had to change our plans as far as space and things for that but in the end it all worked out and we had plenty of space. The hotel we use is wonderful and work hard at being accommodating and helpful as well as understanding. We couldn't have asked for a better place to host our events at.

Setting up was fun. It was even better when we got to meet Ms Cali and Mr. Kauffman and the crew from The Spanking Court. At first I was scared and nervous as I have never meet any of them and I didn't know what to expect. They were very friendly and helpful and things went really smoothly as far as everyone setting up and things. My nervousness on meeting them was over. There was no need I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to join our party then them. All of them were very nice and did everything they could to make us and our guests feel comfortable around them. I honestly felt like I was at a big happy family reunion and I had never met any of them before this event.

here's a few pictures of the set up for the Bash and us as we were setting up.

After we got all set up it was the waiting game to see who all showed up. LOL At this time we were really nervous as we were not sure how many would come and we all kind of sat around looking at each other. Some spanking play went on between the guests that were there at this time but we still were worried as our numbers were very low. Shortly though things got started and Red Palmer showed up from work with the pizza for the pizza party and most of the people that were coming that night showed up. the Spanking Court group also joined us for some pizza and some friendly spanko chatter and fun. here's a picture of a special pizza that Red Palmer made just for our group. he made a special butt pizza for us and it was priceless. We never did eat that one either just got some pictures of it and thought it was really neat. its amazing how we can make anything spanko related LOL.

Since we had a classroom set up some of us girls decided to get pictures in the Dunce hat we had even Ms. Cali took a turn in the Dunce seat here's those pics.

Lots happened after that though and the party got started. I'll share more of that in my next post. When red Palmer showed up not only did he surprise us with the special pizza he had more surprises for us. Tune in next time for more on the Back To School Bash and the surprises and fun we had.

Catching up and the Bash

2011-08-17T09:17:00.003-04:00

Again I have been really slack in writing my blog. I have just been so very busy with things for Tampa Tanners, working, kids and all that good stuff I just haven't had the time I want to write a blog. I have had alot of fun things happening. I met with Larrs on a Thursday when I had off and we played with the violet wand. it was quite an experience and he is a great guy so we sat and talked for a little and tested out all his attachments. I even got to break in a paddle for him that was never used before. he used it on my bottom for the first time. Katia Thomas and I were able to make it out to the last Tampa Munch on Saturday and we came home and played a little before we picked up the kids. Cane-iac.com had sent us quite a few items for the Back To School Bash and a few were some new items to test out. All the items were very ouchy though and Thomas Katia and i will be doing an implement review for those real soon. I let Katia take home the one implement that I didn't want kept in the house. it is like a rubber hose type thing and that wicked thing hurt like the dickens. One swat and i about jumped through the roof and said okay that's enough of that one. LOL.

This past Monday night Katia and I met with Red Palmer and had dinner and talked a little. he's a great guy and it is always fun to see him. We met at a local steak and shake and had dinner. Red Palmer had purchased some new paddles from Kitty's Exotic paddles and in the parking lot of the steak and shake we got a few test swats. It was quite interesting. We were going to go back to his place afterwards and play but we had to get some things printed first so we all got in my car and headed to the printers. Katia and Red Palmer sat in the back seat and I drove. The whole way to the printers though Red Palmer had Katia across his lap and was spanking her. It was late so it was dark. While at the printers i got a phone call about a family emergency that needed taken care of so I had to head home. Katia being family, came with me to stay with me while I dealt with that problem. My teenage son is giving me a hard time so thats what happened with that. it kind of sucked to have to go home because I was so looking forward to some playtime with Red Palmer. He is a wonderful spanker and an all around sweet guy. I can't wait to see him this weekend at the Back To School Bash.

Yesterday I spent most of the day making things for the Bash as well as getting the registration packets done and ready for Friday. Today I had to clean out our closet and look for Thomas's suit as well as the wedding gift paddle I found the suit but not the paddle. We fear it got lost at one of the first Tampa Tanners parties at a hotel we no longer use. I called the hotel and asked when we noticed it missing but they had not seen it. Kind of sucks because that was a special paddle that had sentimental value to it. I'm still hopeful it will show up sometime maybe hiding in my room somewhere though I looked everywhere I could think of.

The Back To School Bash is on for this weekend. We had quite a few disappointments and problems with it. But things worked out. The hotel messed up our reservation and gave away the most important rooms we had wanted for the party. Now we have no suites for the party. Quite a few registered guests had to back out this time. So the attendance is smaller then we had planned but the ones that can make it I am sure will be very glad they did. We had to cancel some activities due to losing the suites and the turnout but we figured out a way to make up for it that will work better for everyone. I have butterflies about this party. Since it is the very first big party we have held it has been quite a learning experience for us. We know a few things now that we can use to make the next one better. I still think for being only 6 months old and not giving ourselves alot of time to plan the turnout is wonderful. It will be lots and lots of fun. I am really looking forward to meeting all the friendly folks from the Spanking Court and filming with them. I hope to take lots and lots of pictures and things. I have secured somethings for the party in February 2013 already because I wanted to get a head start with that one and want that one to be extra special since it will be our 2 year anniversary. Lots of fun things planned and Ill be working on advertising and things for that once this party is over.

Ill be gone till after the party but I promise to have lots of pictures videos and memories to share from it when I return. Happy spankings for all until then.

Fetish Con the Violent Wand and things LOL

2011-08-03T13:26:00.009-04:00

With FetishCon behind me I have quite a few stories to tell. Not as many as I hoped to be able to tell because Timing was not on my side as I ended up being in pain and sick by Friday only one day after the convention started. lucky for me though the first night and Friday morning went well and I got to experience quite a few things I wanted to or never thought I would.

Thursday night I had off work so Thomas and I took the kids to the sitters and headed downtown for the convention. We got there a little early so we had to wait for a little while but that was all good because we ran into Dazey in the lobby of the hotel and got to chat with her a little. She is really sweet and has a great personality and she was able to make me feel alot more comfortable just being around her. I was a little intimidated by the whole convention thing as it is mostly professional models and things. But i got over that pretty quickly.

before we headed out I had answered an add on fetlife for a photographer that was looking for models to shoot for content trade. Which means he would shoot the pictures and then we would both get to use them. I told him I was new and if he didn't mind working with me I would be glad to and left my number. Shortly after the meet and greet was under way I got a phone call from him and set a time to meet with him and shoot that night. I was scared and nervous and i made Thomas go with me to the shoot. I wasn't sure what we were going to be shooting though I knew it would be pictures. When we got to the room the photographer was very friendly and i felt more at ease. I filled out the paperwork and we got started. I have been getting a little more comfortable with my body and have been able to be naked without the bad feelings as much as before. I still am a little self conscious but it is getting easier and I went for it in this case. The photographer Told me to strip and he tied me up and took the pictures. I was still camera shy somewhat and Thomas said i was stiff and need to loosen up for the camera which I will work on. The more I actually do it the easier it is getting. I haven't received the pictures yet but as soon as I do I might post one to share. My biggest set back is my boobies they are quite large and I feel really self conscious about that. I am hoping to get a reduction someday and i will feel alot better about it.

After the shoot was done and we went back to the meet and greet where I saw a whole lot of girl on girl action going on and girls being tied up and things the dungeons were open for the night. While at the meet and greet I had run into Larrs who I have meet before at Fetish Circuit. Larrs has a violent wand and i have found that I really really like the violent wand. We made plans to meet at the dungeon so I could have some play with the violent wand. I got into my bra and panties at the dungeon and laid on the massage table. Larrs got out the attachments for the wands and we played for a little while till the wand was getting to hot and he didn't want it to overheat. I was in heaven though and I enjoyed it very much. I am planning on getting a wand for us with my income taxes this year if i can. I am hoping that Thomas will learn to use one real quick. Later that night the same effect that happened the last two times I played with a violent wand happened. My back had a burning sensation and i had lines from where the violent wand was used on my legs and back though the back was the only one that was bothering me. Before I went to bed that night Thomas rubbed lotion on my back and we went right to sleep it was about 2 or 3 in the morning when we got home and we both were pretty tired and needed rest for the next day.

I was all excited about the next day and was hoping to meet and shoot with maybe another photographer or something however that morning those plans were dashed. Mother nature decided to pay me a visit and she couldn't have found a worse time to do so. I was bummed because that also meant that i wouldn't be able to play at the dungeon if i wanted to. I had to work Friday night anyway but was hoping at least to get some play in before I headed to work.

Friday morning after we got to the convention. we were walking around and we ran into Dazey again while we were at the clips4sale booth. I was filling out a survey for them about my store and their service and they were talking on the mic. I wasn't really listening to everything that was said though I did somewhat hear him say something about free orgasms and I looked up at him afterwards he then called me to the center of the booth and as i went in my mind was whirling so I was only half paying attention to what he said and even though I heard what he said it didn't register what a sybian was at that time. LOL I learned real quick when he pulled it out and asked his female assistant to show me how to ride one. I am sure at that moment that I was redder then a beet. It wasn't until then that it registered what they wanted me to do. but hey I was at a fetish convention I had played in my bra and panties the night before and did a completely naked photo shoot for the first time so what is one more first. I did as she showed me and she turned it on. i tried to focus my attention on the floor and not all the people standing around watching me. It was quite an intense feeling though and it was different. I laughed most of the time with my nervous laugh but with that thing the vibration was not something one can ignore. I was liking it I wasn't hearing alot of what she was saying as she talked and things I heard a few of the questions she asked me like my store number and things and all that. She asked if I sold things like that in my store and I said no just spanking So they got out some implements and started to spank me. Thomas was watching and i looked up at him and dazey a few times I noticed Dazey taking a picture as well. The girl noticed thomas as well and asked if he was my spanker and then asked him to come and spank me. he grabbed the aluminum paddle and joined me in the center stage with the paddle he spanked me as I rode the sybian. I ended up having an orgasm though I really tried to hide it as best I could LOL. It was quite the experience and a very nice way to start the day I must say. We headed to walk around some more and things. Most of Friday was spent walking around and looking at the trade show and talking with a few models and people we knew. Here's those pictures

We attended two rope classes as well and Thomas got the chance to tie me up. That was alot of fun. I love being tied and love rope. Here's a pic of me in the ties after the class.

The second class we attended was also very interesting though I didn't get tied up in that one. I did get some good pictures of the models being tied up and as soon as I get permission and share them with the models Ill share them here. The one tie I think is really pretty and I want Thomas to practice doing. The good thing about him is he can see it done and learn quickly so he can probably do it. It looks really nice and I would love to have him practice on me.

After i went to work Friday night I ended up with pain in my left arm. I also ended up with the sniffles and felt really bad Saturday morning. I rested alot of the day though and called in sick to work. I slept till about five then had Katia take me to the convention to join Thomas. However i was still not feeling well wasn't able to do anything i wanted to. i did stop by the dungeon and watched a suspension and things but I was jealous because i could do it. I really wanted to play but with my arm hurting and feeling sick i couldn't have. We came home and I went right to bed again. Sunday morning I woke up still not feeling well. I called into work again because my arm was still hurting bad and i was worse off that day with the sickness I just couldn't do it. Thomas had a few shoots to go to that day so i slept while he went. I had planned on going to the last night fetish Ball but when the time came to get ready and go i just didn't feel up to it so i opted to stay home and rest. Hopefully next year I will not get sick because I plan on having alot of fun and maybe getting some shoots booked and things.

Monday was back to normal though when I picked up my kids my oldest was not feeling well and was running a high fever. I ended up having to call in sick to work again even though by that time I was feeling better I needed to get my son seen so we ended up both getting seen in the ER since I needed an excuse to go back to work. I was given antibiotics but my son was not given anything. His fever was 103 but no signs of what was wrong. Two of my children have kidney problems and he is one of them so anytime the complain of pain in their sides or that area accompanied with a high fever i get really worried. All his test came out okay though and we were sent home about 6 hours later LOL. hospitals are not known for fast service that is for sure. Her laid around all day Tuesday though and his fever spiked now and then but all I could do was give him fluids and Tylenol and Motrin like they said. He is doing better now so I believe he just had the flu or something. It is weird though because our kitten was sneezing and has eye yucks so she is sick as well. I had asked Thomas if Cats and humans could pass things but he said no and curious me asked the doctor as well because it just seemed odd we were sick and so was she. though my son and a commenter both seem to think and tell me the cat is male. my son changed her name to Garfield in case we will know soon after the vet appoint.

Since Fetish Con was not what I wanted it to be and not as fun due to being sick I was glad for the night out on Tuesday night with my co workers. We went to a local gay club here called Valentines. it was fun and I don't drink and neither did my other coworker. We meet a really hot dancer though and had a blast with him. My one co worker is very much gay though most of us were straight we still had a blast it is fun and we meet some very nice people.

I wish there was more to write on the spanking side of things. But sadly there isn't. I was too sick and we were too busy during the weekend when the kids were gone to even think about spanking play. I hope to get a night with Thomas soon. Though right now we have to save everything to make sure we can pull off the Big Party in three weeks. Throwing spanking parties is far from cheap LOL. I am hoping we will at least make half of the costs back though. I wish i could win the lottery then we can throw a big bash and not charge a fee I'm sure we will get lots of friendly folks that would want to come to a free spanking party I know I would. LOL

I have more to write about that but will tomorrow I wrote a book already LOL. we received a package from cane-iac with the free canes for the bash and other nice stuff to give away and set to raffle and things. Cane-iac also added a few goodies that are new items for us to try out. We will soon have news on how that test goes LOL. I love trying out new implements though these look pretty intense and mean.

Spanking Fireworks Party and The Back To School Bash

2011-07-27T11:33:00.004-04:00

This past weekend was a blast. We had the meet and greet on Saturday followed by a spanking party on Sunday. But before I begin with that I wanted to share two videos promoting the Back to School Bash coming up in about three weeks now.

The meet and greet was good we had a few people come out that I have never meet before including Dazey a model that Thomas has meet and will be working with in the near future.I really liked Dazey and she was a blast both at the meet and greet and then again at the party. We all chatted and ate and had fun talking we even had a pretty decent server that joined in on some of the conversation.

Thomas and i headed to the hotel around 1130 we wanted to get there and set up early so that we would be ready by 2 Katia had to run that morning and pick up one of our guests. Freebird has never been to a spanking party ever and Katia and I have never meet her though Thomas has meet with her on a few occasions for discipline. Thomas had to go and pick up Shy and Dazey so he left me at the hotel and I waited for katia and freebird to arrive and started decorating and took a shower.

We were a little unsure about who all would be making it this time around. We knew one would of course the three that we picked up but weren't sure about anyone else. It ended up that Red Palmer showed up briefly though he had to leave early and didn't get the chance to play this time around. Katia and i had to run to the store and get some munchies for the party and things and we went and did that then the party officially started. Though there was quite a few spankings going on before that between Thomas and the girls that rode with him and the other Top that travels from pretty far. In fact he works Saturdays and he is one of the reasons we have Sunday parties since they are the only ones he can attend and a few others had mentioned that Sundays were better for them. So we switch the nights from Saturday to Sunday every month.

We all decided to play twister. it was a fun game and Shy Katia Dazey and I decided to try it out. freebird has health conditions that did not allow her to play the actual game but she was the spinner. I never should have attempted the game it was alot of fun but with the Lupus and painful joints the bending and twisting just made it bad and i was in pain for the remainder of the party and a day or two afterwards. Next time I will know and either take a pain pill first or just enjoy watching it played.

At one point Thomas was spanking Katia while I was sitting nearby and I decided to slap her bottom as well. Which ended up in us trying to keep tempo with each other and spanking her together. That was interesting and fun LOL. I don't really switch per say but it is fun playing the spanker sometimes with certain people that I am close to and we can have a good time with it.

Shortly after that when we were deciding to order pizza another couple joined us. The husband is a spankee but the wife is vanilla though supportive of his desires and agreed to come with him to check us out. They has some good conversations with some of the other spankos at the party and since Dazey had to model on Wednesday she could only Top at the party and not play as a bottom but she really wanted to come after the meet and greet and meeting us. we are really glad she did and she ended up being needed quite a few times as a spanker for the newbie. We sat down and played Spankopoly with Katia's new board. Once we ended that then the free play spankings started.

I had been spanked by one other professional female spanker. Miss Chris spanked me before at a Texas party. So i was eager to try it again. I asked Dazey to play and we grabbed a few of my implements including my flogger that JP made. We went to the room to play a little on the bed and it was alot of fun to play. Dazey has a different spanking technique and it is was nice to experience it. I also love flogging alot so it was great to be flogged even if by a female.

Before we played Dazey had gotten to play with Shy and Katia. Shy was very brave and allowed Dazey to spank her in the diaper position I took pictures for Shy using her camera. At one point while we were all playing and things Thomas was in the Background spanking I think Katia and Shy grabbed a riding crop and pointed it at me and said its time for your spanking missy. it was all in fun and it was a great time. Shy also started dancing with the crop to the smacking sounds and some music Thomas was playing on Katias phone. I took video of that just for fun. Shy is a cute and bubbly girl and as one of our youngest members she has alot of fun and keeps us all laughing. She is just one of those types that you just got to love.

During Spankopoly the newbie had suggested a game. Which since it was a patriotic party the game was a good idea. he suggested that we all get a pen and paper and sit down and write the names of all the 50 states and any that we miss we get spanked for. It was harder then i thought to remember them all. LOL. Everyone missed some and it was about 15 was the least and 18 was the highest which was mine LOL.

Here are a few of the photos and the video of Shy dancing with the crop it was just silly fun. I always love the parties.

Play, punishment, party, videos and a kitten LOL

2011-07-19T11:28:00.006-04:00

I really need to get to blogging on a more regular basis. Things are really hectic and there is so much to do lately between the family, work, Tampa Tanners and other things it leaves less and less time to actually write and post about all the fun things happening and what not.

I have a few things I need to write about and catch you up on. The first one is the fun one. Thomas Katia and I were able to get together last Thursday for a little playtime that we all very much needed. We dropped the kids at the sitters for a couple hours and got a quick diner at the local mart. Then we started to play. We started with trying out some new rope that Thomas had brought home. Katia and I have found that we really love rope and have gotten to experience it a few times at the local fetish events we have attended. Thomas is not as experienced with the rope work but he does well for someone that doesn't have that as a primary kink and he was basically just practicing and coming up with things as he went along. It was fun but it didn't last long as he still isn't certain all the ways to make the rope fit without cutting off circulation and things like that. They were pretty and it was amusing to play with the rope but I think I'll keep the rope part of my kink for when I go to other BDSM events. I really want to go to Lew Rubens sometime soon. ill be seeing him at FetishCon so maybe I might get that chance not really sure I think Katia and I might take a trip down to where he is to play sometime. He really does some great work. Marcelus from fetlife also goes to many of the Tampa events and he does some amazing rope work as well as PHMB on Fetlife he did a suspension on me before and that was great.

After we got untied and things Katia and i lied across the bed and Thomas got out some implements. We didn't feel like getting up and getting any so we told him to pick though he picked some real intense things like the aluminum cane and I cant remember what else. it was fun but it hurt like the dickens lol I do remember he used the small donkey hide paddle he got for his birthday and that was bearable but still packs a punch. After we played some we Katia and I got some strawberries and whip cream we had gotten for dessert then we headed to pick the kids up and katia went home. it is always nice to have Katia with me when I play as well as we have gotten really close and we pretty much go everywhere kinky together. We wont play with others alone and take each other especially if it is someone we dont know very well. But it is still fun and good to have a sister to explore the kinky stuff with.

Not all of our time was play though before we got the strawberries we both had gotten punishment spankings and held each others hands during it. Katia cried during mine for me LOL. It was easier to take having her there and I think it was the same for her.

The week before I had gotten a punishment spanking for forgetting my medicine again. This punishment we recorded and there are a few versions available on Cookie Crawford's clipsand The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostore.

. here's a small promo of that as well.

We have been doing alot of things to get ready for the Back To School Bash and we are getting alot of last minute registrations. I think it will be a great party and I am so looking forward to it. We already planned the date for the next one though it wont be next year we decided to wait some and are having our next bash in February of 2013. It will be an anniversary Bash since by that time Tampa Tanners will be two years old and the Bash is right around the same time as when we had our first meet and greet. We are naming it Magical moments and decided on a fairy tale theme. I already got emails in for getting things in the works for that party as well and having a year and so to plan will make it that much better.

We are getting ready for a smaller monthly party on Sunday. We decided to hold this party in a private hotel suite since the suites we get are nice and roomy and it will be a small turnout this time around but we will still have alot of fun and we have some interesting games planned for it and things.

The next party will be the big back to school bash and then we dont have a party in September. Instead we decided to have a big cookout get together instead and will be having that at a local park which should be fun. Since it will be a public park we cant really spank and things but it is always great to have get together where we all just socialize and things and enjoy some great food and conversations. More information to come on that soon.

On Wednesday Katia and i are going to a new place called the Chill Chamber for their wicked Wednesday event. It is a BDSM event but one that falls on a day that I actually have off already so I can get to it. We have never been there but I am thinking it is much like Fetish Circuit or the Phoenix Club but on a Wednesday night instead of the weekend when I work the most. I'll be sure to write about that as well.

And I brought home a friend from work the other night. On Saturday night we were really really slow to start with. And we all spend alot of time sitting outside playing with the stray cats in the area and things. Well the one stray had been pregnant for the longest and we had started to see this itty bitty kitty coming out and Saturday night she was around all night and she was just so cute I instantly fall in love with her and really wanted to hold her and pet her but being a stray she was skittish about people and every time we got close to her she ran. But after seeing her all night I decided that I wanted to take her home and give her a safe and warm home to live in instead of her having to live on the street eating trash from the parking lot and drinking the rain puddles that were mixed with oil and other nasty stuff. We grabbed some ham and a box and all of us tried all night to get this kitty she stayed close by but wouldn't let you get to close before she would run and hide under another employees car. I knew if my oldest son was there he would have been able to catch her so I had planned to bring him to work on Sunday night to see if he could get her. I really wanted to bring her home and felt really bad for her as she was so tiny and little.

Sunday morning came around and I had just gotten off work and was waiting for the manager to pay us. Which is usually about a half hour wait. So I sat outside and waited. The little kitty was around and looking for food so I went inside and bought a dollar hamburger patty that they cooked up for me and chopped up. I let it cool off a little before slowing walking up to the kitty and throwing near her. She took the bait though and i kept making the trail closer and closer to me till she came right up to me and i laid the patty down and while she was eating I grabbed her and put her in the box I had gotten on my car. She was scared and tried to claw me but I knew that she would be better off in a home then a parking lot so I didn't let that phase me. We got paid and i headed home. I take one of my coworkers to and from work sometimes so I had to take him home first and somehow during the ride to his house she got out of the box. And jumped on the ledge on my back window. She didn't know about windows though and tried to jump through my back window and was very scared. When we got to his house he tried to help me get her back in the box but she hissed at him and wouldn't get in the box LOL. She ended up going under my seat and staying there. he got out and I headed home. When I got home I called Thomas and told him to come outside and help me. She was still under the seat so he had be block the front of the seat and he went through the back and grabbed her and took her inside. I immediately left her with him holding her so I could go to the store and get some food and things for her. I ended up spending all that I made that night on her but it was worth it. I had to get kitty litter a litter box, Food, food bowls, I also got her a few toys and I bought some cat wipes to clean her until we could bathe her which I didn't want to do right away. But she was dirty and greasy from being a parking lot kitty plus she had some fleas so I also got her a flea collar and a flea bath.

My son held her most of the day and adores her he really spoiled her the first day. They were funny trying to name her. One wanted buttercup and the other wanted princess so we went with princess but they also call her princess buttercup.

She was a scared kitty at first but she took to being held and cared for real well. By the end of the day she was wanting to be held and petted and was very happy and content that was until we decided to give her the flea bath. That didn't go over to well with her. She was alright at first but we had to leave the shampoo on for five minutes and she started to get wild during that it took alot for my son to hold her during that time. he held her and I cleaned and rinsed her then we wrapped her in a towel and blanket and he held her for a long time till she dried and was calm again. She was shaking and didn't not like that. But she is nice a clean and pretty now without all the black. There is still a little bit of black spots where it looks like grease from cars or something and doesn't wash out easy at all. it will eventually go away but we still try each day to help the process along with the wipes and things.

Now she is very playful and loves attention. She is eating and drinking well and uses the litter box. I am making an appointment for her to go to the vet next week. I want to make sure that there is not anything unseen wrong with her and she needs her shots and things. I am hoping we can hide her for awhile since we're not really allowed pets where we live and they really want to keep her. i just wanted to get her off the streets and take care of her for a little while but I think we will actually keep her Ill be talking to the landlord later on and see what I can do about keeping her. Keep your fingers crossed. Cats are a little hard to hide though as they like to sit in the windows but we will try to at least for a little while till I have to tell her and hope that she lets us keep her.

Here's a couple of cute pics of her as well.

Well that's all I have for now I need to blog more often and will let you know how tomorrow goes at wicked Wednesday.

The Back To School Bash is almost here

2011-07-12T16:01:00.002-04:00

We are really looking forward to Tampa Tanners very first big party. Granted it might have been a bit early to do a big party like this but oh well we live and we learn. LOL We have decided to wait till February of 2013 for the next big party though. We have gotten a few people signed up and are really looking forward to the excitement of having the Spanking Court attending and getting to meet Cali finally. I have seen her videos for awhile and have always wanted to meet her. I was very excited when they decided to bring the Court on the road and to our party So that will be the highlight of the party for me. I have had so much fun planning the party and getting things ready and all that and I love shopping and coming up with new ideas for the party decorations and events and things. There are lots of surprises in store for this party. Thomas is working hard as well to help us promote the party and try to get more attendees. The more the merrier. He has made a short promo and looking to make another one when more footage comes in from some of the other models and people that are going to be there. At the July party I will get two of our members that don't mind being on film to make a short snippet for a promo as well.

If you have not already registered for the party it is wise to do so soon since we need to get a final count for the hotel.

I have a few things to write about tomorrow about a new adventure I am probably embarking on for the next two weeks we will see if I agree to the terms or not though before I go writing about it. I am currently looking to find a day job as well. I have quite a few things I would like to attend that fall on Saturday nights and right now it is hard to ask off for all of them so it would be easier to just get a day job or if my boss could then to get Saturday nights off but I don't see that happening LOL. Anyway enjoy the video for the Tampa Tanners Back To School Bash!

Stress relief with Niko

2011-07-11T16:38:00.002-04:00

a little while ago Casey, Katia, Shy and I meet with Niko. We did a Tampa Tanners video that I already shared but we also all got stress relief spankings to relieve some tensions we all had. Here's the video of my stress relief spanking with Niko.

And here's the Tampa Tanners video again from the same day It was alot of fun and Katia and I are planning on getting together with Niko again soon. I'm sure we will have lot's to share about that situation as well.

I haven't been able to write about some playtime that Thomas and I were able to get on Thursday. I got a babysitter and he and I spent some time together playing most of it was spanking related but he added in some sensation play for me that had me really going wild. I learned that I really like sensation play and Rope a whole lot LOL. We made a video of a discipline session as well that he took care of after our play. Although I am not so sure that after the play and all is a good time for spankings especially discipline as my senses were heightened so it hurt a whole lot more then it would have if we didn't play sexually first I am sure. I will have a promo of that video though it is already on my store now soon. If you want to see the video where he spanks me for not taking my medicine with a bath brush it is available at Cookie Crawford's clipsand The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostore.

He was going to use the wedding gift paddle that has been dedicated to my discipline but we have misplaced it and can not find it. Though I think it would have been a little easier to take with that but not by much. I really want to find that paddle though as it does have some very special meaning for us.

Tampa Tanners Spanking Masquerade June 25th 2011

2011-06-28T09:14:00.010-04:00

Saturday was a very busy day for us at Tampa Tanners. For me it started early in the morning when I got home at 7:30Am from working a ten hour shift. I couldn't go to sleep because I had alot I had to do that day and didn't think I would have time which I was kind of right LOL. I was running starting at 8:30. I had to shower and get everything ready to take to the Masquerade with us since we were going to be leaving straight from the Meet and greet. Adrenaline did be well that day because i didn't really seem tired i was going on excitement and I had plenty of it to keep me going.

Once I got the kids to the sitter and I went and picked up Katia then Thomas we headed home briefly to get ready. Thomas needed to shave and things so he stayed at home while Katia and i booked it to the Meet and greet almost late but we made it just in time. Todd and Suzy had made it early and we had called them to hold the greet down for us till we got there. There was another new face that had showed up as well and Todd and Suzy were talking to him when we set everything up. It ended up being a really good turn out which I am glad the last meet and greet memorial day weekend was not that great LOL. I think it had alot to do with falling on a Holiday.

People started showing up and we had a few friends join us that i have never meet before and a few that are Tampa Tanners regulars now LOL. Thomas called me right before I ordered to let me know he was ready so I left to go gt him and came back. There was Lot's of friendly conversation and things going on and it is always nice to chat with other Spankos. Todd and Suzy had also brought The custom Spankopoly board that they had made for Katia and we got to see that as well. They do a great job and I know that Katia will be very very happy with hers. For more information and to get a spankopoly board please visit American Spanking Society.

Since I was running on adrenaline and things I tend to get very giddy and silly. I had ordered a strawberry smoothie at TGIFS and when I bit into the strawberry I looked at it and saw an owls face so i had to share with everyone at the table. it was really cute and i wanted to take him home though i don't think he would have lasted long so I took a picture and will have to just keep that LOL.

The Meet and Greet ended about 4Pm and we had been telling Todd and Suzy about the Todd adult store here in Tampa. So talk towards the end of the greet leaned towards going there. Red Palmer agreed to show them where it was and they all headed over there to have a look around. I think they enjoyed it as they brought to the hotel a few goodies and Suzy got her mask for the Masquerade. They even got Katia's present there.

Once we all arrived at the hotel it was some quick chatter and Todd and Suzy showing us what they got at the Todd. Katia got her present and Suzy asked her to use it at the masquerade party. it was a straw cup in the shape of a dick. Katia looked funny sippy her Pepsi out of a dick but it was funny because she was walking around holding it as we walked around the hotel and back and forth between the two rooms.

It was time though to start and get ready. This proved though to be quite a task for Katia and i LOL. The outfits that we picked were cute, But very difficult to put on LOL we needed help from Suzy quite a few times getting zipped up, buckled and putting on our thigh highs. It was quite an interesting event just getting ready lots of laughs and Katia and i looking like fools as we had to lay on our backs to pull our Thigh highs up then need Suzy to help us figure out the hooks and things. Lots of fun Thank goodness Todd was in his room and Thomas was asleep he missed all the fun we were having as we got ready. LOL

here's a pic of our outfits after we finally got them on. I was really self conscious of mine though as I have a very large bust and the corset pushed them up and almost busting out at the top. I played with the Boa trying to hide my boobage LOL. I finally got to where i was comfortable though.

We didn't get a picture of us in the mask though which we thought we did but didn't some how LOL. Oh well walking through the hotel I felt very weird though but it was quite apparent that we were heading to a masquerade party since we all had our masks on our heads and things.

We headed over to the Phoenix Club a little early to meet with the managers of the Club and get set up with our goodies bags and things. it is a very nice place and they have it set up really nice. It was my first time in a dungeon though and i was like a kid in a candy store. I love alot more then spanking so it was amazing to me to see a real dungeon play space and they had lots of equipment. Before everyone showed up we quickly went to the Andrew cross and Todd tried out there new studded strap from the Todd. It was more for photo opps but he did give us each ten good ones. Here's a few pics from that.

People started showing up and the party started at first it was alot of shaking hands and meeting everyone we had a few show up that we hadn't expected or known about yet but it was nice to meet them. For some though the whole dungeon atmosphere was very overwhelming. But alot of our members adapted really well and got to try out some new and exciting stuff.

We had some learning to do but we learned quickly and it was nice to mix the different dynamics of things for a night. It was not anything at all what we were used to though and it was a bit of a culture shock sorta to be in the moment and we were not sure really what we were supposed to do or how to get anything started so we just went with the flow and explored our surroundings a bit a few like Thomas though didn't play much because it was so different. One of members was totally freaked out but we since have talked to her and she has decided that the BDSM and dungeon scene is not her thing. We were thankful she at least gave it a whirl and came out to join us. here's a picture of Thomas napping not sure how he did that as the music was loud and there was alot of playing going on around him. Thomas has never been open to like dark and loud so he would never have a good time at any club setting even a vanilla one.

Red Palmer is a Tampa Tanners regular he has a blast and is really good at spanking so he always gets alot of play. he jumped right in as well and he didn't waste anytime taking me across his knee when he got there. Unfortunately for my costume though as soon as I went over his lap my Boobies decided to pop out completely I was holding my boa close to my chest to cove them for quite awhile. A long time friend of ours was in town and decided to come and join us. Thankfully she had some clothes in her car and she lent me a shirt to put on. LOL

There was lots of furniture and spanking benches. Red Palmer and I decided to try out one of the benches. I was never on one of these before so it was new and fun to try out. Red decided to grab my Tampa Tanners paddle and spank me with that while I was on the bench. here's a good picture of that.

There was a couple that was part of the Phoenix Club that we had meet before and they wanted to come to see us again and we were happy to see them. They showed us a little about what they do and things and had some really nice toys that a few of our members got to try out. One was a single tail whip. Of course after seeing Suzy try it out I later got the nerve to ask them if I could try it out and so did Katia. This couple was a Master and Slave and his slave helped me out by showing me some of the toys getting some towels and setting up the bench we were going to use. we didn't know about the towels and things until this point though but they were really nice and she held my hand and talked me through things and helped him. After the whip we tried out a few things they had including some sensation play things. It was a wonderful experience. and I liked it very much. They are a really sweet couple and i was glad to have seen them again. She provided the aftercare and wrapped me in a blanket after we played and asked if I wanted water and things. That is something I wasn't quite used to and didn't understand i asked Thomas why I was wrapped in a blanket after we played and things and he told me that it was normal for the scenes that BDSM do and i can understand after the one scene we saw.

It was also mentioned to us that the BDSM group couldn't understand how we could talk to each other during scenes. Though for us we really don't scene. it is not uncommon in the spanking scene for everyone to be talking and bottoms playing patty cake or things while they are getting spanked and all that. So when we were across someones lap and talking to others they just couldn't understand. likewise we didn't understand that the play area was not a place to talk and goof around. Since different scenes were going on at different areas there was a light set that provided a line as to where you could converse and not bother the scenes going on. The Phoenix staff were really nice and came over and explained it to us though so we moved away. It isn't a big difference but there are more protocols and things that we just weren't used to in a dungeon setting then in a spanking party setting.

We didn't really know how things were going to be and we had planned for cake and presents and katias birthday spankings which we usually do in the middle or towards the end of our parties. but since alot of play had started and it interrupting a scene is not a good thing we ended up not having the cake and things because a few scenes were already underway. it was all good though We enjoyed our time and we will know next time a little bit better. It was our first time so we had alot to learn and take in at once but in all I think it worked out great and both groups interacted well.

At the party Marcelus showed up as well. We had met him when we went to a few munches and the fetish circuit. So it was nice to see some familiar faces in their crowd as well. marcelus though works with rope and as everyone knows I love bondage. though I am also very self conscious and never thought in a million years i would ever be caught taking my shirt off in public especially to let a guy tie me up. LOL. But I love rope and was very curious. So i agreed to go upstairs to a balcony that was semi private and do it but mentioned that I would not walk around without the shirt even after the rope dress. But I took a big step in doing it in the first place. I have heard alot of talk about subspace and things and I never understood it as I never went there before. But I think that I was very close to what might have been subspace when Marcelus was removing the ropes I know i felt different and was in my own little world as he was slowly removing them. he is very good at what he does and it was experience I can't wait to experience again. it was also very pretty and very comfortable i walked around the rest of the night till close to the end with the ropes on. But I had on my shirt my friend gave me LOL. here's a picture of that i am even sharing the front shot though I cropped it some and it is dark.

Though we didn't do our usual party at the Phoenix club we had a very eventful and fun night. We met some really awesome people and learned some new things and got to experience alot. katia and i will most definitely be getting a membership and hope to go back again soon to learn more. It was an awesome time and the people are just as awesome. They had a very nice lasagna dinner and soda and things. Though I later found out I grabbed the wrong color cup I didn't know that the colors meant anything so I identified myself as a Top apparently. LOL That's another difference I noticed at both the munch and at the Phoenix club the colors. Blue is bottom or submissive and Red is for Top where as in our group we have it switched. Red is for bottom and blue is for top. So I always feel like a Top when i put a blue sticker on my tag LOL.

Red Palmer had a blast. Here's a good picture of the three of us Red, Katia and i at the club towards the end of night.

People were starting to die down and we decided to head out. The thing that sucked was that Shy showed up shortly before we decided to head out. It was great to see her and her Daddy and friends though it was short and sweet this time around. Hopefully we will see her at the Tampa tanners fireworks party. Not really sure since weekends are the time she gets to spend with her daddy. But she is our young one and always will be LOL.

Here's a few more pictures from that night at the dungeon party.

After we all left a few of us headed back to the hotel although I rode with Red Palmer and we got lost on the way. LOL. I am not good with directions but after passing the hotel on the hwy about two times we finally found out where to get off to get on the right road to actually get into the hotel.

The intent was to eat some cake and give Katia her birthday spankings. I am not sure how that worked out though as soon as it started and I was laying on the bed watching i feel asleep quickly the adrenaline just didn't work when i slowed down and laid on a bed I was out cold. I think it was close to 4 in the morning when everyone cleared out and Thomas Katia and I went over to our rooms to go to sleep. LOL
here's a pic I was given that I think I am still awake in but I fell out shortly after thats for sure so I missed most of the birthday spankings. But I got a few pictures.

After we got a few hours of sleep Katia Thomas and I woke up early and headed to the breakfast at the hotel. The we went to see Todd and Suzy and of course we all played before saying our goodbyes.

Of course since i slept the night before and Missed Katia getting her birthday spanks with a new implement made by Cane-iac she quickly mentioned That I haven't felt "The Satan" yet to Todd and that I had to try it out before I left. That thing is very evil I tell you. LOL

I think there might soon be some video from that night and morning but not sure. I will share it if there is as well. I know i think some was taken but not entirely sure. Okay Todd uploaded one of the videos of the very first spankings at the phoenix Club so here it goes he did a nice job with it as well.

I ended up just giving Suzy her gift basket that we had gotten for her before she left. We never even got cake so we just split the cake in half and she took half home and i took half so we gave it to our familys as well LOL. Here's a picture of the cake and the gift basket theough LOL

Here is a picture as well of the extra mask I made and my mask though I never got any pictures of me actually wearing it. LOL
The Pink was for my costume and the purple was an extra one I made.

Time is getting close

2011-06-20T09:40:00.002-04:00

Things are getting close for alot of things that are happening. First thing is this weekend Tampa tanners will be joining the Tampa Bay Phoenix Club for a very special spanking Masquerade night. We are all really excited on both ends to be getting the chance to get together. Katia is celebrating her birthday that night as well and we will be going shopping for it this week sometime.

The other event also coming up soon is the very big Back To School Bash. Things are slow as far as getting people to register but I am still hopeful for that to pick up this month maybe. Ms Cali and I have corresponded through email and she sent me this link for a blog post that she wrote about the upcoming party and her thoughts on it. You can check it out here.

If you are planning on coming out and joining us for this event please make sure to visit our website and get those registrations in. Also if you would like to sign up for the spanking court filming you need to submit your case so that they can get their schedule worked out and you will know when you will be filming. According to what I know the money that they will pay for the cases will cover the cost of the party fees so really the traveling plans are all you would have to lose and you could and will have alot of fun.

I have most of the program worked out for the printers though if any vendors sign up Ill have to add them for it. This is really exciting and we have worked really hard to plan and bring this party to Florida for the spankos out there.

There are alot of options as far as getting your payment in for the fees. We started a paypal and you can also mail them to us at P.O. box 764 Brandon Florida 33509. If mailing a money order or check please make sure to write it out to Thomas Elders and get it in the mail in time to reach us by the August first cutoff for the registrations.

I'm still getting over this bronchitis but it is a slow process and the cough is annoying LOL. Nothing really to report about any spankings recently there is just so much going on that Thomas and I never have time to get away for even a few minutes. I am really hoping that I can find a sitter this weekend as our options have been really limited lately and the one that I was planning for them to have watched has moved to another state so they are not an option. But I am still trying as I really want to spend some time with Thomas as well and will feel really bad if he has to miss this masquerade.

I've been sick

2011-06-16T11:14:00.002-04:00

I have been feeling under the weather for a few days and it got to the point that I needed to get checked out for I was fearful I might have had strep throat. I didn't have strep but I have bronchitis and that isn't any fun either. I went to the doctor and got some medicine and a few days of rest from work. Which hopefully will help but bronchitis takes a little while to get over I know from experience. At least I am not as worn down and feverish as I was when I went to the doctor.

It worked out that Katia was able to come and take me to the hospital that night. She took me to one I have never been to but will probably start using as it was a very quick in and out deal and they were very nice. We were there probably a total of 30 minutes till I walked out with the prescriptions and things. Beats the hours spent in other hospitals. Even though I wasn't feeling up to par that night we had to go to CVS to get my prescriptions filled and us being together in a store always leads to a purchase somehow LOL.

We needed soda for the house and it just so happens that CVS had it on sale. They had 2 liters of Pepsi for 88 cents which is a good deal. So i got the limit of five and so did Katia. Then as we were standing in the checkout line we noticed a bin with 90% off items. In that bin I found some really cute Halloween bags and instantly Thought of the Tampa Tanners Halloween party. So I bought all the bags LOL. They were usually 2 dollars and something but I got them for 25 cents which you cant beat that. It is a bit early but I like being prepared. LOL Katia said nothing like planning ahead when I mentioned I was getting them for Tampa tanners. Kind of have to wonder how we managed to come home with bags of things when we left to take me to the hospital because I was sick.

I think Katia and I have a new fetish.....Shopping LOL. Wish we had loads of money to do it often it does have a great feeling to it.

I have been working at advertising for the big party coming and righting some wrongs I felt needed righted. Not all of those went the way planned but I did manage to apologize to some people that I felt I had wronged before with some of the drama in the scene some accepted some didn't but I did as i felt I needed to and have made a conscious effort to refrain from all the drama and mud slinging going around lately.

Not much to write about on the spanking side of my life. I haven't gotten much play in because of being ill, because of the kid situation, because of working and things and all that jazz and all the things that interfere with my NEED LOL.

But I am so looking forward to the Masquerade party coming up on the 25th. Lots to do to plan though I need to find a sitter so that Thomas can join us because I would feel really bad if he had to stay home with the kids. Plus I need to call the hotel closer to the Phoenix Club and book our rooms. So I just wanted to pop in and let you know im still alive and still working at things LOL. Happy Spankings all!

Spanking Masquerade

2011-06-11T09:25:00.004-04:00

On June 25th 2011 at 8PM Tampa Tanners will be joining the Tampa Bay Phoenix Club for a very special spanking masquerade party. I am really excited about it and Katia and I had the chance to go shopping for our outfits.We found matching pink corsets and got a pink and black boa and a little black skirt. I headed over to Michaels craft store last night since I had off and i got materials to make a mask with. I had looked around for a mask to buy but wasn't having much luck the ones i did find were pretty pricey and not really the look I wanted. I found what i needed at Michaels and headed home to be creative. LOL. I actually was worried at first that it wouldn't come out like I wanted it to. But the end result was amazing. I am really proud how my mask turned out.

Here's a pic of it for you.

Now the only thing I have left to do is go shopping for Katia's birthday presents and cake. not sure what she wants yet but I will find out soon. LOL. Katia and i will be making her mask soon and i think I will make an extra one just in case since the masks come in packs of three and i got lots of feathers left over and paint.

I also was able to get another video made for the Tampa Tanners Back To School Bash. it is getting close and the excitement is building very fast. I'm heading to the local munch today hopefully Katia can join me. Thomas has to stay and watch the kids but I am really hoping that by the 25th I will have childcare worked out so that Thomas can join us in the fun. i have a plan that I have to get in motion though. Some friends of mine have moved to another area and I am hoping that the boys can stay with them that weekend so we can have a weekend to go to the party and maybe shoot some video as well. Ill have to work Friday night maybe though I did get this Friday off for some reason.

Ill let you all know how the party goes I cant wait but it is now only two weeks away. till the next party and it seems like it has been forever since we had our last party.

Alot of things have been going on in my life both vanilla and spanking wise. We have alot to do to get the Back to School Bash going and have been having a blast with that. Some of it is work but it is fun work and we really enjoy doing it knowing that the party is going to be that much better each time we get something planned and ready. One of the fun things as well is making promotional videos. Katia, Shy and I recently got to meet with Niko and Casey to play and in doing so we also did a video that Niko posted on spanking tube for Tampa Tanners. At the same time we also got stress relief spankings from him which aren't on the tube yet. Shy's video is up though and she really is a sweet young spanko and alot of fun to be around. In this post I will be sharing a few of the videos as well.

I was also able to meet with Red Palmer at my house with Katia. Red Palmer is new to the scene and has been attending the Tampa Tanners events. He is a great guy and a very good spanker as well. Even with a newbie status he has a knack for it and can give quite a spanking. He was excited when I asked him if he wanted to shoot videos with me for Cookie Crawford's clipsand The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostore.

Neither one of will ever claim to be an actor though but we used a roleplay type scene to give a reason for the spanking. It actually was quite funny and more humorous then serious but the spanking that followed was certainly not funny. LOL. He used a few implements and we even ended up breaking a wooden spoon type implement during the scene. I had him sign the broken implement as a memento. It was a great fun day and he stayed for awhile after playing with my kids and I got a funny picture of him in a hat my son has. As we speak I am uploading the combo video to the store but the videos are now available at Cookie Crawford's clipsand The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostore. If you are one that likes to see real spanko's having a good time and some serious spanking action then these videos are for you.

There has been some things going on in my life with the kids and Thomas that aren't as happy and fun but they only deserve a quick mentioning to let you all know why I have been moody and up and down lately. Most of them are being worked out so no worries the storm will past as it always does.

Last night I had off work and when I got into bed beside thomas who was already resting he got up and grabbed a cane and my ponytail and took me across his lap for some spanking play. The cane is really the only implement that we can use in the house. It is quiet enough not to wake up sleeping kids. For play it is not that bad though I still don't really like the cane but it is was nice to have some play with my partner since we rarely get that. After the caning he put me to sleep with some other play and i slept like a baby all night. There is something about spanking and sexual play that is relaxing and makes for a really good way to put someone to bed. LOL

I hope that you enjoy the videos and pictures today. We are getting ready for our June party though it is a little different then the other parties we have had. We are having our spanking masquerade party at the Tampa Bay Phoenix Club. I am really excited about that and I am eager to meet the people from the club. I heard good things about them and they seem like a friendly bunch. Plus it is a local dungeon so there is the opportunity for more then just spanking at this party. Plus it is Katia's birthday so we will certainly have plenty to celebrate and lot's of spanking going on.

Katia and i had a girls night out one night when I didn't work we headed to the Todd to do some shopping though we weren't really planning to buy anything just get out and have some fun because we both have been under alot of stress lately and getting out together always picks us up and gives us both some relief from the stress. We ended up though spending alot LOL. We both got matching outfits for the masquerade and it was alot of fun trying on the corsets. The sales person was very helpful and she really helped us. My size though is awkward as I am very top heavy LOL and not proportioned well. So finding a corset that fit me was a little more difficult. We finally were able to find one that will work though it really accents my top part and I am not used to that. But Katia helped me feel okay with it and I think I will do alright. Ill have pictures as well once we get to the party and things. We still need to work on our masks but I will probably go out tonight to get some of my material for that.

This Tuesday I had planned to go to a local girls night out party. I have always had Tuesdays off so I really didn't think I had to ask for that night off so I didn't and was just planning to go. That was until the schedule came out and for some reason of all the Tuesdays she could have scheduled me she put me on the schedule for that Tuesday and gave me tonight off instead. I was not happy because now I can't go to the party. I cant very well try to get it off either because I ask for enough days off to go to our own parties and don't want to push it with the job. But I am really bummed I cant go. Hopefully there will be another one soon. and ill actually have off this time.

Well I guess I rambled long enough LOL. Here's the videos starting with the Red Palmer previews and then the Tampa Tanners Niko video and Shy's stress relief spanking. Hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making them!!!!

To see the full 18 minute and 10 minute videos please visit Cookie Crawford's clipsand The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostore.

Niko will also be in attendance at the Back To School Bash! We look forward to having him there!

Drama in the scene

2011-05-31T08:12:00.004-04:00

Recently I have gotten to thinking about things and have noticed that the spanking scene community that I once knew and loved has changed quite a bit. I have to wonder what is going to happen to the newbies and the younger crowd that is coming in. It just doesn't seem as welcoming anymore and it seems that their is so much more drama then I remember when I first joined the scene almost 4 years ago. The drama is everywhere as well. It is all over Fetlife, in the spanking forums, on blogs, around friends I know, at parties and almost anywhere you can imagine. It seems to me that it is more like being in a highschool then being around adults that are into spanking. Personally I don't like drama and i wish to avoid it as best I can. But it seems now that in order to do that you have to be a hermit and just not associate with anyone because someone has some kind of drama and it is bound to show its ugly face no matter how hard you try to avoid it.

I have been fortunate in my life to have some really good and close friends. More friends then I could ask for that are genuine friends and not just acquaintances that I know from online or short meetings. Most of the time I only have to meet someone a few minutes before I realize whether or not they are someone that I would choose to be FRIENDS with or those that I would keep at a safe distance. That instinct is not always right though and even people that I try to keep at a safe distance seem to be able to bring drama to my doorstep.

Bring a party organizer now I find it really difficult to balance the drama and keep it away from me. Because as an organizer I have been thrown some drama and asked to keep people from the parties because some won't come if this person is here or that person is here and things like that. Sorry but my position as an organizer is to provide a safe and welcoming atmosphere for EVERYONE that would like to have fun and enjoy a spanking party. I'm not here to be a referee either. If two adults have a problem with each other then they should be adult enough to be able to keep away from each other and enjoy a party at the same time. It seems rather simple to me. Apparently though it is not. But I welcome anyone and someone that would tell me that they wont go to the party because I allowed someone that they have a problem with probably wouldn't have fun or enjoy themselves anyway because they would be caught up in the popularity contest that seems to be the new thing in the scene. I don't care if you are a well known spanking model, or the shy girl from next door I have no right to ban someone based on hearsay and gossip or problems that were once had with someone.

Yes, we are a private group and reserve the right to decide who we want at our parties just as any group. But for me personally I don't feel it is my call to decide that someone isn't worthy so to say for our parties based on my own personal feelings of that person or hearsay. I pretty much feel that everyone should be welcomed until they personally give us a reason to ban them by breaking a rule at a party. Maybe I am wrong but I really feel that is the right thing to do. I have witnessed and seen good people that were banned from parties because of bullshit and then by default others that were associated with them were also banned for no reason other then knowing the banned individual.

And I also don't understand the concept of yelling at the tops of hills problems with another. Seems alot easier to just deal with things with the person and keep it at that. I have been wronged by a few people in my life some I am close to people that are still friends with these people. But what Joe smoo did to me a few years back shouldn't effect my friendships just because they know each other. I choose my path in life and if I choose not to cross paths with joe smoo again I won't. If my friends have a party and Joe Smoo is there then I am adult enough to ignore him and have a good time regardless of my feelings of Joe Smoo.

I just don't get it. I don't choose to be liked or disliked based on who I know or how popular I may be in the scene. Popular or not I am the same whether I am well known or known by few. I'm a spanko because I enjoy spanking very much. I enjoy parties I enjoy making videos and sharing them for others whether that be to make a few dollars or not make a few dollars I enjoy meeting people and having fun at get together parties or just in private. Whether I am hanging out with friends that are close to me or hanging out with a well known spanking model I am the same no matter what. I am ME! Plan and simple. I don't choose to be stuck up or think that I might be better then the spanko that doesn't show their face or that doesn't appear in videos and what not. We are all humans and we all pretty much breathe the same air and have different reasons for being a spanko and doing the things we do. And just because I happen to share my passion doesn't mean I am any better or worse then someone that doesn't. And just because I am friends with a variety of people doesn't mean I can't be friendly and nice with those that dislike each other for one reason or another. You just can't please everyone.

The Spanking Court

2011-05-24T11:33:00.000-04:00

August is fast approaching and we are looking forward to a great time August 19th-21st at Tampa Tanners Back To School Bash. As you may already know we are also having special guests as well. The Spanking Court is coming to Tampa and we are excited to have them. Here is a clip of behind the scene looks at the spanking court that was posted on Spankingtube recently. I just saw it today but it looks like it will be alot of fun!

Woodrage Paddles

2011-05-21T11:14:00.000-04:00

Yesterday afternoon I felt like a kid on Christmas morning. There was a knock at the door and it was UPS with a package for me. I knew what it had to be since I knew that a shipment was coming from Woodrage paddles. So I was excited to see the what he did for us for the Back to School Bash. When I opened the package and saw the very awesome paddles. I had to take a picture and text it to Thomas and katia. I called Katia right away to tell her that they were here and that they looked amazing. Thomas called me when he got my text since he has a very small phone the picture wasn't that great when I sent it to him and he called to ask why I didn't just wait till he got home. I get very excited about things easily. LOL. But the souvenir paddles that he made for our party are very well done and I was very happy with how they turned out.

Here's a few pics of the little paddles that he made as a souvenir for all our guests at the Tampa Tanners Back to school bash.

Now this picture does not even portray in the least the craftsmanship he did with these. Even as these are just promo paddles he made sure that each one was cut out perfect and they are really quite thick. You can tell that he took alot of time and effort into these paddles and we really appreciate it and I really can't wait till the party. I know that if he took all that time and effort into making these I can only imagine how much time and dedication he puts into the paddles he makes for his site and customers. I am ordering a custom paddle for Thomas this week from him as he really has a great selection of paddles and I can tell from our correspondence as well as the promo paddles that he works hard and takes pride in what he makes and presents and he is a really nice guy I highly recommend that you check out his website Woodrage paddles and see all the wonderful paddles he has to offer.

For all the guests at the Back to School Bash we will be giving out a souvenir paddle and on the attached business card which an image is shown below is a code for a discount to his store.

The registrations have started coming in which I get excited with each one LOL and we are all still working hard at planning and things for the big party. It is both exciting and scary at the same time. I have never thrown a big bash such as this and while it is quite fun to plan and meet and talk with everyone that I have gotten the chance to meet and talk with regarding events and things it still gets my stomach in knots as I want things to go smoothly and I want to ensure that all our guests have a wonderful time.

Walk for Lupus Now and a few pictures from Thomas's birthday party

2011-05-17T10:37:00.000-04:00

On Sunday I had my walk for Lupus with some co workers. We all decided to form a team and walk together which was alot of fun. It was nice to dress up silly for a good cause. One of my co workers also has lupus so when I mentioned the walk everyone was pretty eager to help us out knowing that we both suffer from the pain and symptoms this illness gives you. bobbi and I went way out and really rocked the purple when we dyed our hair purple as well. Here's a few pictures of me of that.

Since purple is one my favorite color it was not hard at all to rock purple for Lupus I even went as far as wearing purple panties LOL. Though you all are the only ones that will be able to see that as I had Thomas take a picture of me and my purple panties.

Not only did I have my coworkers support in walking I also had the support of my two boys who also wore purple in support of me and the walk. I of course blocked out their faces since this is an adult natured blog but you can still see where they wore purple for me.

I also asked permission from my coworker also affected by lupus if I can use our picture with her for my blog. She said I could so here is a picture of the two of us all decked out in purple when we meet at Waffle House before the walk

We ended up only doing the one mile walk though we were going to do the three. But given that two of us had worked the night before and most worked all day plus I had to get to work after the walk, we decided to only take the one mile with one co worker and her family staying to do the three. I was able to raise enough money to receive a walk t-shirt which i was happy for thanks to all that helped support me and the walk and the cause. I do believe that they are still taking donations through the rest of the year. Next year though my co workers and I want to get a better start we only found out about the walk about a month before it was going to be so not alot of time to really do alot like we wanted. But we will certainly do it again next year. Here's a few more pictures of us on the walk I blocked out a few faces of people I haven't gotten a chance to ask if they mind being on my blog but you can again still see the purple we all rocked and things.

I have alot more pictures and a video but I cant really post it here but as you can see we all had a lot of fun and all together the Tampa areas first walk for lupus now event brought in over 1000 walkers and over 60,000 for the lupus foundation of America. We were joined by Extreme Makeovers home edition Eduardo Xol. It was pretty awesome to see him there supporting the cause in Tampa.

Tomorrow I have alot to do but I am hoping to get a post written up about Woodrage Paddles. The owner of the company has worked extra hard to make us some special souvenir paddles for the Tampa Tanners back to school bash. I am also getting ready to get Thomas a personalized paddle from him that I think he will like alot since black and red are his favorite colors. If I don't get to it tomorrow I will soon.

Before I go though since this is a spanking blog I also want to share some of the pictures i have from Thomas birthday party. I haven't had a chance to write about yet but still plan to as well. But here are a few pictures that I though were worth sharing already. Sorry it is so long after the fact. Things are rather hectic in my life right now between my teenagers, work, rest, Tampa Tanners, Thomas and the home front and all that good stuff. Lots and Lots to do with little time to do it.

Blogger issues and double trouble videos LOL

2011-05-13T13:59:00.000-04:00

I am not sure what is going on with blogger lately. After thinking I lost my whole blog then it reappearing again, I wrote a post yesterday and now that post is gone. Blogger was down for awhile though during that time as well so I guess Ill just rewrite the post or some of what it had in it and add the pictures I wanted to add in this post. Then if my post returns it will be no big deal anyway LOL.

I wrote about some recent videos I had finally gotten around to editing and wrote about how there are some issues in my life going on right now that have no place on this blog but do effect my time as far as having time to write and things. I have alot of things I need and want to write about such as the recent party and a few things about some feelings and new things I have learned and come to see in this journey through the spanking scene and life. But for today I am going give you a preview of some videos I now have available at Cookie Crawford's clips and The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostore.

The first set of pictures as well as sneak preview are from the video Double Bubble Trouble. It features Katia Spade, Cookie Crawford (thats me LOL) and Thomas Elders III. Cookie and Katia are left to clean the house and do chores. Thinking Thomas will be away for awhile they decide to play in the jacuzzi for a little. Getting in with just their bras on and putting bubbles in the jacuzzi. Thomas returns to find them playing in the bubbles though they try to argue that they were cleaning it. He pulls them out of the tub and decides to dry their wet bottoms with the the heat from a sound spanking. to purchase the full length video please go to Cookie Crawford's clips and The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostore.

The Second set is from the video "Double Trouble" which also again features Katia Spade, Cookie Crawford, and Thomas Elders III Katia goes to the dorm between classes to see why Cookie was not in class. She finds a big mess and Cookie sitting on the couch. Not wanting to once again be in trouble Katia decides to take matters into her own hands and grabs a kitchen spoon to confront Cookie about the mess. The headmaster of the school comes in as Katia is spanking Cookie and both girls get in trouble. to purchase the full length video please go to Cookie Crawford's clips and The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostore.

I hope that holds you over for a little bit till I get a chance to edit and work on the many pictures I received and took at Thomas's party recently. It was so much fun and there is so much to write about LOL

Double Trouble videos now available

2011-05-12T14:34:00.000-04:00

I know I haven't written alot lately I have alot of things going on in my life and in my family that really have no place on this blog but it leaves little time for me to write and keep up with this side of my life. I have some things I need to write about and some pictures and stories from a recent party but really don't have the time right now to edit all the photos and write about all the fun and the spankings that were had during that party. I have spent the few minutes I have had each day to work on some videos that I have have done and I have two new videos available on Cookie Crawford's clipsand The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostore.

The first one is titled Double Bubble trouble.
In this video Cookie and Katia are left to clean the house and do chores. Thinking Thomas will be away for awhile they decide to play in the jacuzzi for a little. Getting in with just their bras on and putting bubbles in the jacuzzi. Thomas returns to find them playing in the bubbles though they try to argue that they were cleaning it. He pulls them out of the tub and decides to dry their wet bottoms with the the heat from a sound spanking. to purchase the full video go to Cookie Crawford's clipsand The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostore.

here is a little promo video of that video now available.

The other video I have gotten edited and placed in the store is one we did at the recent Birthday party for Thomas. It is titled Double Trouble.
In this video Katia and I are roommates in a school and I had a party the night before and ended up missing class and making a mess of our dorm. When she comes to the dorm to check on me to see why I wasn't in class she finds the mess and decides that she is tired of getting in trouble for things and decides to take a wooden spoon and show me how it will feel if we were to get caught. Thomas the headmaster then comes in and catches the spanking and then spanks both girls. he spanks Cookie for the mess and then Spanks Katia for taking matters into her own hands and dishing out a punishment she was not authorized to do. To purchase the full video go to Cookie Crawford's clipsand The Cookie Jar spanking library studiostore.

I am hoping to have some time next week to write a post I have meant to write on for awhile about some feelings I have and some things I have learned throughout this journey in this lifestyle and community. For now enjoy the videos and look forward to some upcoming posts and pictures about Thomas's birthday party and more.

Custom made Spankopoly board

2011-05-05T13:30:00.000-04:00

Thomas's birthday is approaching this month and this weekend we are going to be celebrating it as well but at a recent Tampa Tanners party he was given an early birthday present as i couldn't wait anymore LOL. I had talked with Todd and Suzy from American Spanking Society about getting a custom made board for him since he and I had always thought about getting one anyway. What better way then for his birthday. Todd and Suzy did a great job with it and I am really happy with how our board came out here is a picture of the board.

Since Todd and Suzy are also attending the birthday party they also got Thomas the paddle from Cane-iacthat goes with the spankoploy game. It is custom made by Cane-iaconly for those that purchase the game as well. and it is a great deal and a great addition to the game. Here's a pic of that paddle made bu Cane-iac.

The paddle also has a very nice case to keep it in when it is not in use. here's a picture of the paddle and the case.

Todd and Suzy certainly spent alot of time and effort and probably cash to develop and print and make this game available for spanko's. It is always a blast at parties and makes for alot of spanking fun when a bunch of spanko's get together. We have played it at almost all of our Tampa Tanners events and pre parties and it is always a great hit (LOL) If you have never gotten a chance to play then you really should contact them and find out where they will be with their board and give it a try I know you will definitely not want to go home without your own to have. I know that at the back to school bash we are having for Tampa Tanners in August Todd and Suzy will be there vending their game and we will also be having a small suite party in the evenings which include the game spankopoly. Making a custom board takes some time as they have to change a few things but they really do a great job. here's a few pics of the custom made property's for our game.

With the game comes the money which in spankopoly is called smackaroos. For our custom made game Todd took some of our pictures and each domination of money from 1,5,10,20,50,100,to 500 has a picture of with either Thomas or I or both. here's the pics of that as well. I think they came out really well. it is hard taking a colored pic and turning it into a cartoon black and white though but the pics he choose for the game worked well.

Todd also made a few cards for the principals office and spanko community cards that are used in the game here are the specialized cards for our game.

Of course with every game there is a rule book and Todd and Suzy included a cute business card for those that want to also get the game the picture of it didn't turn out that great but you can visit their blog here to find out about getting a copy of spankopoly as well.

And you can't forget the really cute houses and hotels which in this game are little paddles and paddles with holes. though off hand I cant remember which is which I think the ones with holes are hotels. I believe these are also made by Cane-iac but I am not quite sure on that so dont hold me to that one. That has to be difficult though to cut all those little paddles out!!!

Check out Todd and Suzy's blog American Spanking Society for alot more information and to get your own spankopoly board and game. For those that will be coming to our Tampa Tanners Back to School party in August make sure you join us for the Spankoploy suite party!!!!

2011-04-26T09:09:00.000-04:00

It has been a bit quiet on the spanking front around here. I have been busy with family things and had a great Easter. I also got a new toy that I have had alot of fun playing with. It isn't a spanking toy though but I got a new android phone and have had some fun figuring out all the cool features it has. I am still learning and exploring all the things as I go LOL.

Here's a few pictures from Easter that I got to take with the new phone LOL

Now that I have this phone and it is alot easier to send pictures to my home computer I will be taking alot more pictures at parties and things and sharing them. LOL. My next task will be taking pictures of the customized Spankopoly game that Todd and Suzy made for Thomas and writing a post about that. The kids are home from school this week though so I don't have a whole lot of time for privacy and things. I can't wait till next week when they return to school.

I also am working with the Lupus foundation of America on a project for our party in August. They are sending me some material for our booth. I kind of left off the nature of our party though they suggested that they could set up a booth there. I kind of shrugged that thought off and just ask if we were allowed to just set a booth ourselves and donate the money. She said sure and is sending me materials to do so and things. I am excited to see what she is sending me as on May 15th I am also joining them for a walk for Lupus. May is Lupus awareness month so I will also be posting and spreading that news around and lots and lots of my favorite color purple. purple is the color and a butterfly, a purple butterfly, is the symbol. So spreading awareness will be pretty however the illness and things is far from pretty. my regular doctor has been helping me alot though with pain management and things. If you can help donate in anyway please go to Donate for Lupus

On Sunday I had a little scare with my blog. I checked my email and found a message on my fetlife wall asking what happened to my blog. I then went to the computer to see what they meant and my blog was gone. It was completely not there at all and just had a message saying that blog is not found and the URL was not available. I then logged on to my blogger dashboard and the only blog that showed there was the Tampa Tanners blog. It was a heart dropping moment to think that I had lost everything from the last three years that I have been blogging and had no idea why. Later that night I text Katia and told her my blog was gone she just replied I was just looking at it and she left a comment. I was at work so I called Thomas and told him to check and see if my blog comes up and it did. All the information is also back on my dashboard. So i am really not sure what had happened at that point or why my blog ran away for a little while LOL. I have to export all my posts though and save them on the computer in case that happens for good. Blogger has been known to delete blogs of our nature before.

Tonight I am going on a play date with some friends I meet at a local munch. it should be fun to get away for a little while and enjoy some spanking play and things.

Walk for Lupus Now

2011-04-23T13:20:00.000-04:00

Dear Friends

On May 15th I will be walking in the Walk for Lupus Now® to raise funds for the Lupus Foundation of America (LFA). Our goal is to raise $60,000 for the thousands of people living with lupus in the greater Tampa Bay area. My personal goal is to raise $1,000 and I hope that you’ll help me reach this goal! I realize these are tough times for many people, but every little bit helps!!
As you probably already know, lupus has affected me and my family, especially in the last year. There are many more people out there who are on permanent disability due to this disease. I believe the fight against lupus is more important than ever – we recently reached the sad milestone of 50 years without a drug approved by the FDA specifically for lupus. The medications we take can have serious and toxic side effects. That's why we need your help in walking for a cure!
You can donate to my efforts online with a credit card on a secure website by going to Donate for Lupus and immediately after making your gift you will receive an email with tax receipt information. You can also send a check payable to the LFA to my home address.
I will keep you updated as I reach my goal. Please spread the word to anyone you believe would support me in the Walk for Lupus Now. Thanks so much for your support!
Most sincerely,
Cookie Crawford
Making a difference starts with one step!

The party continued

2011-04-22T09:51:00.000-04:00

Once everyone got there things were in full swing. Lots of spanking was going on and it just seemed really natural. The people who came were all very friendly and most everyone got along and was comfortable with each other. Todd and Suzy had gotten me a little gift bag for my birthday. In it of course was some really interesting spanking gifts. It was really cute and Suzy had asked me earlier about me taking a spanking with any spanking implement I got. Of course she never told me she got a bag full LOL. Anyway I opened the bag and everyone that wanted to took a turn at giving me a swat with each item. There was a wooden heart paddle, a wii tennis racket, a badminton racket, a wooden kitchen spoon with little shells on it and a wooden paddle ball game. There was even a tiny little paddle ball game that got interesting when people used it LOL. Here's a few pictures of that with Thomas spanking me with the heart paddle.

And here is the pics of me opening the gift bag and reading the card. It was a cute card as well.

Of course as always in the spanking scene when it is someones birthday bottoms that don't normally switch do like to get a few spanks in. That happened at this party as well. I got a few spankings from strictly bottoms. here is Suzy giving me my birthday spanks from her.

Like I said there was quite a few spankings going on and alot was happening. The picture thing was hard to do because we all were just having so much fun and not really thinking about pictures and things. There were a few times we got pictures like when I finally got the nerve up to Take a Niko spanking. Now anyone that has seen Niko's videos knows what i mean by had to get up the nerve LOL. Niko is a really nice guy though and is well known in the scene as well. He brought his Thud along for the event so I got to get thudified by Niko for my birthday LOL. Here is a few pics of Niko, The Thud, and that spanking LOL.

Suzy is a really brave spankee. After the party was coming to a close she asked Niko to take a spanking and see how much she could take with the Thud. They took a video as well. here is that video that they took. My heart goes out to Suzy for being so brave and taking it so well. I don't think I would have taken it that well at all.

The party was pretty much 6 hours of non stop fun and spanking LOL. Lots and lots of things happened and it is always hard to write about everything. we had guests from California, New York and a few from right here in Tampa as well as a few hours away. We even got a newbie hotel staff member join us after he got off of work. LOL. The whole atmosphere of the party was very warm and welcoming and friendly though. We had planned out a few games but things just sort of took there own turn and everyone was having such a blast and there was alot of spanking going on so we really didn't take the time out to really play the games as they were intended LOL.

Many tried out new implements, we had coupons floating around and such LOL and lots of birthday spankings. In all it was a great party and we enjoyed ourselves and hopefully all of our guests did as well. From the emails we received afterwards it seems that everyone had a great time as well.

Here's all the photo's I have from the party. I may have already used some but I like them all and didn't want to forget any LOL

Tampa Tanners April party "Spanking showers/Cookie's birthday Part 1

2011-04-21T09:16:00.000-04:00

After all the pre party planning, preparing and the playing on Saturday night it was time to start the fun. We got up and Katia and I wanted to try out the hot tub that was in our room. We had some time before we had to get the ball room decorated so we decided to give it a try. Thomas had been saying that it would make a great scene for a video. He went down to the lobby to get on the computer for a little bit while we enjoyed the hot tub. As we were enjoying though Katia and I decided to surprise Thomas and let him do a shoot with us. This was a very big step for both of us. neither of us felt very comfortable about shoots that include nudity but with the support of having the other there we decided to take the plunge and go for it. Although we did decide to keep our bras on for the shoot. We shot a video for Thomas in just our bras and then we got dressed and headed down to the ball room to start decorating. I shared some of the decorations yesterday but there was alot.

Here's a few more pics of the decorating we did.

Niko was able to attend the party and we were really excited about that. He also showed up early and he helped us decorate. here is a picture of him playing around with the Tampa Tanners paddles. He is a real fun guy that is for sure. LOL

Anyone that is on Fetlife has probably heard about operation "I love it in the can." If you haven't then you should look it up as it is a very worthy cause and Tampa tanners is proud to be joining the efforts. I made a little sign for our donation box on Saturday before heading to the meet and greet. I will be probably starting a contest for a picture to use for our group and the cause. There are some great opps for that one LOL. Anyway here is the sign for the donation box for "I love it in the can".

Once we decorated and Katia and I got a salad to share we set up the registration desk and waited for our friendly party goers to arrive. WE had alot of people registered and a few that we had not meet yet who came on friends of ours reference so we were excited to meet them. It was a slow start though and i was getting a little worried. LOL Here's two pictures from the registration part of Katia and I. We always have fun together even sitting at the registration desk.

Todd and Suzy were already at the party since they came and stayed at the hotel the night before so they sat and chatted with us and when Katia and i ran to the restroom we left them with these coupon books that we always make for the parties. LOL Todd and Suzy decided to alter a few and write things on some of them it was quite amusing. Todd even made a special one for Katia LOL

During the party we continued to alter the coupons and had fun with that. Suzy had made her coupon for Cookies birthday party say with the aluminum cane so I returned the favor and made a coupon that said give Suzy 30 with the aluminum cane. She took it well though I never had to take mine since the party got so hopping that it was never redeemed LOL.

We had one guest who came to our meet and greet the day before who had traveled from California and he was the first to arrive. He asked if Katia and I wouldn't mind doing a short video for him to keep with her spanking me for my birthday. We aren't switches though but for the sake of my birthday and for fun we agreed and headed to the party room to do the video. He asked that we did half with the hand and half with the Tampa Tanners paddle to save Katia's hand. I was like save her hand heck save my bottom LOL. I didn't get a copy of that to share though.

Since Thomas has become our Mascot for the themes and parties it is now a very new tradition for every bottom to go across the mascots lap for a spanking and for those that don't mind we get a picture. Almost all the bottoms at the party took there turn across Mr. silly Thomas bunny though I only have permission to post the ones of Suzy, Katia, Shy and I. So here are those pictures.
Cookie

Shy

Katia

Suzy

And it is such a cute picture I have to share it again of Thomas as the bunny spanker LOL

We took turns getting spankings while we waited on guests to arrive and getting some pics. At one point Suzy and I were getting spanked together and I was tickling her feet every time she raised them up. I don't think she realized till the end that it was me and that I was that close to her to reach her feet. LOL.

I have alot more to write and will finish that tomorrow. I'm going to rest since I worked last night LOL and I have so much to write about.

Pre party preparing and playing

2011-04-20T09:26:00.000-04:00

Last week was really hectic and my health was such I wasn't even sure I was going to make it to the party this time. I ended up at the doctors the Thursday before and she gave me some new medicine and a few days off of work. It actually helped me some to just be able to take my medicine and actually get some rest at night like I should. Trying to sleep during the day when I have so much stuff to take care of at those times gets really hard. But the lack of sleep and the sun from the Renaissance fair was really bringing me down and making it difficult to do anything.

Friday morning after a good nights rest I met with Katia. She came over like she usually does the Friday before the party so we could get the goodies baskets made and also so we could bake and make some candy. It is alot of fun and we have a great time. Here's a few pictures of us as we are preparing for the party.

As always we had a blast and really enjoyed the pre party preparing that day. We have lots of laughs and fun together and we even got to talk to two special Tops and harass them. Of course Thomas calls because he is both of our Tops but we also gave Niko a hard time teasing him about the party since he was planning on being there. We were not finished until almost 6 that night though and Katia helped me with getting my dinner for the family started which I decided to make Chili that night. Probably not the best plan since we were planning on staying the night before at the hotel for a little pre party get together with Suzy and Todd from American Spanking Society. LOL

Saturday quickly came though and we were excited and Katia came to our house to meet us for the Meet and greet that day. We had a very good turnout and got to meet some really nice people. Almost all of the people at the meet and greet were planning on coming to the party though so it was interesting LOL. The word is getting out though about us and we had a few people show up just to see who we were and what we were about. Tampa Tanners is quickly growing and it is alot of fun watching as it does and meeting the new and exciting people as we go.

We had about 23 people register for this party so we were really glad that we switched venues as we were able to take everyone that wanted to come and we had alot more room for our adventure. The new hotel though was very accommodating and works really hard at giving us what we need and working with us.

After the meet and greet Todd Suzy jean Katia Thomas and i all headed over to the hotel. Katia and I had reserved the suite they had with adjoining rooms. When we got to the hotel though there was an issue with our reservation. Apparently they decided since someone had wanted to stay over in the adjoining room that they were just going to change our reservation and give us the suite but not the adjoining room. That wouldn't work for us besides the fact that we knew that the people in the adjoining room wouldn't want us next to them LOL. We asked for the other suite that they claimed was out of order but we got it all taken care of and eventually talked the manager into renting us the other suite with the adjoining room.

In the beginning we really only talked a little and got some things together. I had gotten Thomas a custom made Spankopoly game from Todd and Suzy for his birthday and they showed me that and since I told him already about it I went ahead and let him see it himself. It is so awesome and I will be doing a post just about that real soon. Here's a few pics of the game board and things. Todd and Suzy also got him the custom Spankopoly paddle from Cane-iac to go with the game.

If you are interested in Spankopoly you can get information from the American Spanking Society run by Todd and Suzy who are also good friends of ours. The game is a wonderful thing for get togethers with other spankos.

Thomas was very tired so he ended up falling asleep before we started playing the game though which left Todd as the only spanker with 4 bottoms. That made for a interesting game and us bottoms even got in on the spanking action. None of us consider ourselves switches or anything but when you are all friends and all spankos and things it is fun to goof around and go with the flow. I have three short video clips of some of the fun we stirred up that night. The first one is of me spanking Katia for the game. The second is Katia spanking me and the third one is a cute one of Katia and I spanking Suzy at the same time with our Tampa Tanners paddles from Cane-iac

As you can see none of us are really experienced at it or really choose to switch but we did have fun playing around some between ourselves as can be shown by the laughs and the giggles and things.

We played some then we headed to bed since we all had alot to do the next day and couldn't wait for the party to start. More to come tomorrow about the party though!

I just wanted to share this picture of Thomas because I think it is really really adorable. Thomas has decided to be the Tampa Tanners new mascot! he was the lucky leprechaun at our first party and this time he was the happy bunny LOL I am afraid to see what he comes up with for our next party which isn't until June but is a spanking masquerade theme at the Phoenix club in Largo.

Lots and Lots of news

2011-04-08T13:35:00.000-04:00

I have so much to write about as I haven't kept up with blogging and have been one busy bee. I haven't had much time to think lately about anything. Between party planning, work, home, sleep and teenage kids causing trouble I haven't had time to breathe let alone blog about some of the things I was able to squeeze in. I ended up going to the ER and had Katia come with me but luckily it was just over stressed and lack of sleep causing me problems at the time.

First I am sorry I missed my birthday posting but my birthday was good. I worked the night before and nights when I work Thomas and I just see each other in passing so I handed the keys got a kiss and he headed to work and I got online quickly before heading to bed. Right when I was about to go to bed I got a phone call. It was Thomas asking me to check the bed to see if he left his phone case there. He of course didn't but when I pulled the covers down I found my birthday present. it was three cookbooks. I love cooking and things and he knows how much I love cookbooks. I slept most of the day after that and when Thomas got home we had the house to ourselves as our son was playing outside riding his bike and things. Thomas grabbed me and a wooden spoon he has by the bed. he took me across his lap for my Birthday spankings. He asked me how old I was and I forgot so I told him 35 I get mixed up alot on how old I am. I was actually turning 36 LOL. Anyway he gave me 35 with the spoon making me count and then switched to his hand giving me 35 more with his hand. He then said he was going to do the same thing with everything he owned but I wasn't having it LOL. WE just went straight to the birthday sex afterwards. LOL.

Katia and I are always learning new things and we are having a great time together planning and shopping and everything we have to do for Tampa Tanners. In August we have a big Back to school bash planned and The day after my birthday we were getting together to meet with an agent of someone we are working with for that party. I will give out more information as it comes though but for now just know that the party is going to be awesome and Katia and I were excited to meet with an agent. He was really nice as well and we had a good meeting that went well. Big plans are in the works and Katia and I might be branching out on another project with him that is beyond just the spanking. We will know more about that as well. But it sounds interesting and we cant wait.

Anyway's back to my birthday LOL. Katia of course brought me a present when we got together that morning as well. It was wrapped in a very pretty bag and wrapping. The card was nice as well. In it were two more cookbooks and a strawberry slicer and meat thermometer. Everyone knows I love baking and things so that is what I like to get for Christmas and my birthdays besides of course the spanking stuff LOL. The cookbooks are some of the best recipes from restaurants. I found the recipe in one for the potato pancakes from Perkins that I love.

Of course even though my birthday is now over the party hasn't started yet. LOL. We will be celebrating my birthday at the next Tampa Tanners party which is April 17th. I bet I will be getting alot of birthday spanking at that party. We had to switch hotels though as the one we were using didn't have great service and really wasn't that great of a place to hold these kinds of parties as the meeting room was beside guests rooms. We found a nice one that is working with us alot better and the rooms are cheaper for our guests and when we stay over which we will be doing this time. After the meet and greet we will be heading to the new hotel again with Todd and Suzy for a fun night. We were able to book one of the suites with a contacting room for Todd and Suzy so it will be alot of fun. I cant wait.

As far as the meet and greets we also had to switch places to hold those. Perkins was a nice restaurant and would have worked out fine had the chess club not booked the back room for the same weekend every month that we hold our greets. We decided to switch it to TGIF's on Fowler where we can get the back room. there room is a little more private and I think bigger as well anyway. Plus it is where all the local munches hold their meets. Speaking of which tomorrow is the Tampa Munch and we will be attending that as well.

It would be really nice if I could find a job that I can relate my kink into or win the lottery and if planning and running the Tampa Tanners could be a full time job that I get paid for LOL. Right now though until our name is out there we are actually spending more then we get back from party fees. But it is all good we have fun and meet some wonderful people. I know that I most likely forgot to write about something as I had a whole lot to write about and a whole lot of time I hadn't written. But things are going good and even though we have hit a few bumps in the road for Tampa Tanners things always work out for the better for us.

Oh and I almost forgot we had to change the date for our Back to school bash in August. We changed the date to the weekend before because The agent and everyone involved decided it best that we didn't have a spanking party in the hotel the same time that a child model agency was holding an event there. That could have been disaster and not the best of idea. But it is a minor bump there as well. Looks like the only other event planned for that weekend at the hotel is a bunch of construction workers. LOL. They will probably want to join us. Anyway we have some very exciting things planned and are working hard to make it a great party and have lots of fun for our guests and things.

A successful first party for Tampa Tanners

2011-03-30T17:06:00.000-04:00

Sunday was the Tampa Tanners very first spanking party the "Spanking Shamrocks". Alot of love and work went into preparing and pulling this party off and we were very happy with how it all turned out and everyone that attended was happy and had alot of fun. We got a thank you note before the night had even ended. As soon as I get the good pictures with the spankings and contest things edited and get permission to use the photos if I can from some of the attendees I will write more about the events and the wonderful time we all had. For only being a six hour party it was a blast and there is so much to write about.

I had to work amongst all the planning and I work third shift so it was quite eventful starting Saturday morning when I got off from working Friday night. I slept just about two or so hours before we got up and got ready. We knew we weren't getting the meeting room so I wanted to be at the restaurant before the actual meet and greet to reserve the section off to the side for our group.

Which happened to work but I also want3ed to sign up for the rest of the year in the hopes that we could get the back room at all the rest. We were disappointed to find that the chess club meets the same Saturday we do each month and had it booked for the year. We quickly decided to change our venue since we did need the privacy of a back room. We decided to check out the TGIF's that holds the local munch and Tampa Ties munches. We lucked out as we were able to secure the room for those dates. So we have to switch our meeting place just this once. Which I don't think will be much of a problem.

Due to other events planned as well and the local renaissance fair going on this meet and greet was smaller then the first but we did meet a new face and we had alot of fun chatting and getting to know the ones from the last one better. We even decided to show off the Spankopoly board to a few of the members that were at the meet and greet that asked about it. We obviously couldn't play it but it was interesting to set it up at a local restaurant. LOL Here's a picture of it on the table. I was so ready to play if we could have.

After the meet and greet about 8 of us headed over to the hotel to get some pre party play in and play a game of spankopoly. It was alot of fun and I think we might have a few pictures from that. I know that Todd and Suzy had gotten an aluminum cane from Cane-iac and we all tested that out. when it was my turn I quickly requested that Todd be the yielder since Thomas tends to lean towards more firm smacks to his own bottoms I believe all tops are that way. it was a little ouch but we had fun here are a few pictures of me and the Aluminum cane as well.

I had to get to work and Katia had to get home since we had alot to do before the party the next day. Todd and Suzy came to my work for dinner and we decided that when I got off in the morning I would meet with them for breakfast at the hotel. That was fun and I got the room paid for and ready for when we got there. There was a few issues with the hotel and we will not be using that hotel anymore. We have secured another spot that is alot nicer and is actually cheaper. The only downfall to that is we cant bring in outside food but that's alright we will end up paying the same for their food as we did our own that we bought. Most of the morning we spent getting the room set up and things and nervously waiting to see who would show up. Everyone showed up except for one Top who had car trouble and was traveling from about 2 hours away. Here's a few pictures of us setting up and getting things ready for the party. It was alot of fun even though it was work and we laughed and had a good time before the party even started. LOL.

Here's a little picture of the party favors.

And more pictures of the setting up and the decorations and food.

Here's Thomas in some of his Shamrock attire playing with the balloons LOl

And this picture is our friendly host Katia being all official on us LOL

I'm working on editing the other pictures and hope to have a post with all the juicy details real soon.

Speaking of Cane-iac After we got everything set up we were able to also get a few photos of the custom paddles made by Cane-iac. I absolutely love how they came out and we added a shamrock sticker for the party. Here's a picture of them and Katia and trying them out on each other LOL.

Operation: "I Love It In The Can" Tampa Bay/Lakeland

2011-03-28T14:16:00.000-04:00

Tampa Tanners had a very successful first party yesterday. I am sitting sore today but that's a good thing. it is a reminder of all the fun I had! I am working on getting a post made soon with pictures and lots of stories to share. For those that missed it it was a very fun party.

Tampa Tanners has also decided to help support the cause started in fetlife. At every meet and greet as well as party we have we will have a donation box available. it is our pleasure to help and Katia and I will get each box to Erin and Banrigh after each party. I have emailed her and asked what else we could do to help. It is my hope that at our August party we get lots and lots of donations to get to them. Please visit the fetlife group for more information. I copied and pasted some of it to share here.

copied from fetlife events page http://fetlife.com/events/47667
Description
One can per month per person is all we ask.

If every kinky person in the Tampa Bay/ Lakeland area gave one can of food per month, think of the difference that we could make for people who struggle to feed themselves.

Banrigh and Erin challenge you to join us in the coming months to participate in this opportunity to give back. It is our hope that on November 19, we will make a sizeable donation of canned goods that will show that the kink community cares.

We challenge you to do more too. I think we can do better than one can a month. How about one can an event? Could you do that? How about becoming one of my minions and helping run some of the events in the upcoming months. Can you spare some time?

I have approached Feeding America Tampa Bay (Formerly Second Harvest) and they have gratefully accepted our upcoming donations. We are working on securing a charity in Polk County.

I know so many of you in this area. I know what amazing compassionate people you are. I know what you're capable of doing.

Pass the message along. This is one of those occasions where we all stand together. BDSM. Swingers. Polyamory. Nudists. Goreans. Riggers. Leather. Who did I forget? (spankos) Let me know. Shout out and represent.

We CAN make a difference and we will.

Thanks for your support

erin and Banrigh

Parties, Parties and more parties

2011-03-23T15:56:00.000-04:00

Okay sorry I have lacked again. Things have gotten really hectic around here between family, missing kids, troubled kids causing trouble and organizing parties and working. I have been doing alot for Tampa Tanners as well. We are getting ready to have our first party on Sunday and I am really excited about that and can't wait. I haven't been able to do any videos since my son once again got his self suspended from school and has been home for the last few weeks not leaving me time to do any videos. he goes back Thursday and i hope to get a video done on Friday at least.

Tampa Tanners has taken off very well and it is exciting to promote and organize and work with some wonderful people in the spanking scene. Currently I am working with Spanking Court planning for the Back to School Bash in August. More information will follow about that but they will be joining our party and having a event there as well.

The last day to register for the "Spanking Shamrocks" party will be March 26th at the meet and greet. We have gotten a few interests and as it stands right now the Tops out number the bottoms so I am guessing that us bottoms will be very busy at this party.

whirlwind

2011-03-14T15:42:00.000-04:00

lately my life has been a whirlwind of things and emotions. Some good and a few not so good. As I mentioned before my 17 year old daughter is missing and has been since Valentines Day. That is like the worst imaginable thing a mother can go through. The unknown. I worry if she is okay and safe or if this was really a runaway situation or if someday did something to her. She had a bad habit of meeting older men she meet off the Internet. her foster mom isn't cooperating at all and won't return my phone calls. The only thing I was told (when I was told about three weeks later) was that she left a note ran away and there is nothing really anyone can do because she doesn't want to be found and she is 7 months away from being 18. It is one big mess and I am really disappointed in the system. She was placed in Foster care because of these habits and other risky things and stuff she was doing. We were trying to get her into a home. But the state felt that foster care would be less restrictive for her and they always try the less restrictive way first. Now she is gone and they really don't have much to say and wont really return my phone calls. It's frustrating and what we were attempting to avoid has become reality. Maybe they should listen when a parent says their child needs help in a restrictive setting. At least she would still be here and wouldn't be missing. All I wanted was for her to finish school and get her life together and she seemed to be doing well. That was until the rules came in and she apparently didn't want to live there with rules.

To make matters worse my 14 year old boy decided Saturday morning while we were all sleeping to steal 400 dollars and take off himself with some friends. We went out Saturday night to the fetish circuit and munches and things and left them with a sitter. However the sitter allowed people we didn't know in our house and was sleeping when we returned at 1:30 while our son and two friends of his had destroyed the house in a BB gun fight as well as were still awake and playing the Xbox. We shooed them all to the room and were not at all happy about the other kids being there. Although at 130 in the morning I couldn't just send the kids home. One was the sitters brother and the other no one even knows who he was. When we all awoke that morning all the boys were gone along with my younger sons bike, a cell phone, and 400 dollars I was saving up for bills. Then the babysitter said she woke up at 4:30 and they were out in the living room playing the PlayStation at that time. So between 430 and 7Am they all decided to rob us and take off. So now not only is my daughter missing but now my 14 year old is on the run. Although with him at least I know he took off on his own will. and I am more pissed at him at this point then I am worried. I am sure once the money runs out which in the hands of a 14 year old on drugs will be soon. Needless to say we do need a new sitter now and wont be using her anymore. It would be nice to be able to trust one person to actually take care of the kids or at least be able to trust your 14 year old to act civil enough that a sitter can handle him. When the money runs out and he does come home he has a big surprise waiting. If he thought he had no privileges before because we couldn't trust him he has nothing now but a bed and clothes and I switched the rooms giving the youngest the big room. I gave all his stuff away and Im taking the Xbox to sell to try to get back some of the money that was stolen. He wont need that big room anymore as he will no longer have anything to store unless he gets a job and buys it himself. I am done giving him chance after chance. The only thing left to do is totally take away everything from him. It will take us a little to get back from losing that much money but I can guarantee that he will not be a happy camper when he returns. That is if he doesn't go to juvenile detention for the theft as well as most likely drug charges and runaway charges and what ever else they get into while on the run.

Now the good stuff. it was a blast going to the fetish circuit. I got to meet some really amazing people and try out a few things I haven't tried before. katia and were out on the balcony for a little while watching the parade and catching beads. it was great fun and we got alot of beads. We also got to try electric play. That was quite interesting and i have come to the conclusion that I really really like sensation play. Although the electric play got rather intense in the end and my back burned for a while the next day I still have some marks from it but it was a good time marks are always a good thing I guess LOL.

I also got to be suspended. it was very fun and exciting. I was suspended once before at a smaller private party and I really like it. Fetish circuit is a whole different ball game then the parties I am used to. A spanking party is just that a whole lot of spanking where as at fetish circuit there was very little spanking that we saw. It was someones birthday that is well known there but since I don't have his permission to name him I won't. I took a spanking from him for his birthday as did Katia. it was nice.

Speaking of spankings since Katia and i are very much spankos we really wanted to be spanked but Thomas really hates the dungeon atmosphere and was a bump on a log the whole night and would not play. I guess he really only went to be there if we needed him. He did not enjoy his time at all. Since it was hard to get a spanking and we really didn't ask anyone to play like at a spanking party Katia and I decided to play with each other. it was interesting. She practiced on me with her hand and then we used the Tampa tanners paddle we got from Cane-iac.com. Katia knows how to spank that's for sure LOL. I think we will soon do some F/F videos as well. It is all new to us though so we are testing the waters right now and we will see how it goes from there.

There were alot of rope guys there and alot of girls being tied and walking around in just the rope ties. Katia was brave enough to try it out and wear a rope dress and panties. I couldn't do it though but I was curious as I love ropes and being tied. I almost did myself but do not really feel comfortable topless. I did very much enjoy the suspension though and would love to do it again.

We saw a few people we know and meet a few others that we didn't know. The people are wonderful and it is a very friendly place just like the spanking parties. being new and shy I was a little nervous that we would end up being wall flowers and be bored all night. But nope we jumped right in and had a blast. I can't wait to go again though I really need to find a reliable sitter because it is a bummer coming home to chaos after having a great time.

Family Emergency

2011-03-10T10:45:00.000-05:00

I have had a urgent family emergency come up and I am sorry. My 17 year has runaway from her legal guardians a month ago and has not been seen or heard from since and I am working on trying to find her which is why I haven't answered any emails or posted recently. I am really sorry and I hope to be back real soon with regular scheduled spanking things. Thanks

Promotional video for Tampa Tanners

2011-03-05T13:20:00.001-05:00

yesterday I worked on a short little promo video to advertise Tampa Tanners. There really isn't many places that I can advertise but it was fun none the less. I think the video came out all right so I am sharing it here as well. There is the Lord's of Acid song "spank my booty" playing in the background as soon as the video starts, so if you are anywhere where you don't want that song to be heard you might want to turn down the volume. LOL. Anyway I hope that you enjoy and that if you are in the Tampa area you come and join us for the spanking shamrocks party.

Tampa Tanners "Spanking Shamrocks"

2011-03-03T09:43:00.001-05:00

Tampa Tanners private after party day 2 (Sunday)

2011-03-02T08:43:00.000-05:00

When I finally got back to the hotel after work Katia and Tomas were finishing up their video and Thomas was tending to Katia's bottom. She had a particular painful session caning and she had agreed to let Thomas record it for Birchwood Academy. After I changed and was ready to relax it was my turn.

I have had a few issues with remembering to take my medicine and for the last few months I really haven't taken it like I should. So Thomas and I decided to give me a reminder about that and also record it for our stores. This week though quite a few spanking opps happened. On Thursday we recorded a special promo video for our back to school bash party. Friday I did a pretty long and hard self paddling video and then Saturday we played alot for the after party. my bottom was feeling it that morning and I was in for a serious wedding gift paddling. The fact that I was already sore didn't stop Thomas for laying it on me though. It was fast hard and furious and it took me by surprise. Afterwards my bottom was burning. Here's a preview clip of that video that is now available on my Cookie Crawford clips and Cookie Jarstore.

Here's a few screen shots as well.

After both of us were finished with our punishments we talked a little and Katia was very brave and wanted to get a spanking out of the way that she had agreed to take for a friend of hers. her bottom was completely sore though and I felt for her. I even stayed on the bed and held her hand through it. She took 100 with the bath brush so that a friend of hers could get a lesser sentence. That's a real friendship there. Her bottom had just went through a 200 some stroke caning and was really really sore but yet she still went through with the bath brush spanking and agreed to record it for the stores in hopes that it would make a few dollars to help support Tampa Tanners since all proceeds from my two stores will be going to benefit Tampa Tanners. Here's a preview of that clip as well.

After the 100 with the bath brush was finished Katia and I were laying there talking with Thomas as the camera stilled rolled. We ended up in a playful wrestling/spanking match though and that was recorded as well. it was fun at that point even though both of us had sore bottoms and poor Katia was still bared across his lap. I have included both versions of the video the unedited one with the play at the end and one with just the 100 with the bathbrush. Here's some screenshots of that as well.

Afterwards we decided to check and see of Todd Suzy and jean were awake and wanted to go down and get the free hotel breakfast with us. Of course I am sure that the smacking coming from our room probably woke them up before hand anyway. but they were awake and we all headed down to breakfast together. It was a pretty decent breakfast as well. Once we all had our fill we headed back upstairs. I was quite surprised I was still functioning and ready to play some more. We had until 1 to check out so there was still some spanking fun to be had. Well kind of LOL. Katia and i were pretty well done and well spanked and sore. But that didn't stop her from messing with Thomas. We both started out trying to tag team him and get him but I quickly grew tired and at one point had gotten elbowed in the cheek during the wrestling. But she kept going and Thomas and her were having a very serious and funny as hell knock out drag down wrestling match. They were all over the room. I was laughing and resting but I wished I had turned the camera on it was quite a match. They both fought hard and were both sweating and tired in the end of it. I think once he even managed to wrestle her into the bathtub and turned the shower on her. It was alot of fun.

Since three of us Suzy's Spanking Union girls were at the party and so was the new S.S.U. paddle we had to get our pictures taken with it. Every new paddle needs a picture with a nice bottom behind it LOL. here are those pics as well.

Suzy also blogged and has some more pictures with the SSU paddle check out her post at the Suzy's Spanking Union blogspot.

After the pictures and things we all just sat and talked. The adrenaline was quickly wearing off and i was getting rather tired so around 12 we decided to say our goodbyes and Katia Thomas and i left. I went home and crashed and slept until 5:30 before I had to get up again and go to work again. I was really really tired and by Monday morning the post party drop was kicking in. But the weekend was certainly a blast and we all look forward to the first official Tampa Tanners party in March. We hope to see you there as well.

Tampa Tanners first Meet and Greet and the private after party Day 1 (Saturday)

2011-03-01T16:46:00.000-05:00

As I already mentioned Tampa Tanners very first meet and greet was on Saturday. we had a great turnout and now that I really looked at the numbers it was more around the lines of 15 rather then 20 but still a great turnout for it being our very first event.

We all enjoyed some really friendly conversation and i really enjoyed meeting new people and getting the chance to sit and converse about spankings and other kink related things.

Since Todd and Suzy from American Spanking Society were coming from two hours away and we all had wanted to get together for some spanking related play for awhile now it made sense for us to rent out the hotel we will be using for our parties for the night and all spend it together. Todd, Suzy and jean rented out a room and Katia Thomas and I rented out adjoining rooms which came in really handy. We just opened the adjoining rooms door and we all socialized for most of the night. Of course when you have that many spankos together there is no way that the socializing didn't involve spanking LOL.

At the meet and greet Todd and Suzy had meet Sissy whom I think they knew before hand but I am not sure. We also all met a newbie to the scene a girl named Shy. She is a young one only 18 and we decided to invite her to the after party for a little while so she can get an idea of what a spanking party is in a smaller setting with people that I know and trust that wouldn't take advantage of her young newbie status. The 8 of spent the time together playing spankopoly. For those that have never heard of it go to American Spanking Society Spankopoly post for more information. It was created by Todd and Suzy and has been a great blast at many spanking parties I have attended.

There was a whole lot of spankings going on for the game and we all had a blast playing it. Cane-iac has made special paddles and a strap for the game and of course those were used as well as the hand and a fire hose small brush and a souvenir "Who's your Daddy" paddle. The implement that was used if a spanking was earned in the game was determined by a roll of the dice. 1 being the strap, 2 the small brush, 3 the fire hose, 4 the spankopoly paddle and 5 being the who's your daddy paddle and 6 was the hand. Since there were two dice the other dice was used to determine how the spanking would occur with 1-2 being over the jeans, 3-4 being on the panties and 5-6 being on the bare. There were a whole lot of 4's being rolled with 5-6's meaning a whole lot of the spankopoly paddle on bare bottoms.

Here is a nice collage that Todd made with some of those spankings.

And here a few shots of me getting my dues as well as a few of the other players.

There was a time when katia got a turn to be spanked and I think the number was pretty high but I believe the implement was a hand. We teased about it being patty cake for Thomas to spank with his hand so I sat in front of her and played patty cake with her. here is a two pictures of that. Todd and Suzy took a few more pictures but they appeared darker and you really couldn't see us playing.

After the game Shy had to leave so Thomas took her home. Katia Suzy and i went to get some snacks at that time as well and had a blast talking and getting the snacks. When we returned Sissy was getting her spankings from Thomas and had already gotten hers from Todd. Todd also took that time to make good on his football bets with Katia and I. during the football season we always join Todd and Suzy's league for fantasy football. Both Katia and I lost when playing Todd so he got to give both of us the spanking of his choice. Here's a few pics from that spanking. I think I asked for the donkey hide paddle just to see what it felt like. It is not a very friendly paddle that is for sure LOL.

After those spankings were done I think it was then that we all took a short break and ordered some pizza. I was hoping for domino's but we had to pick pizza hut whom I dislike and have yet to have an order from them be right. We ordered ham and pineapple but we were given ham and pepperoni instead. Not really a tasty combination to me but I was hungry so I ate a piece. we all talked some more and it was getting close to time for me to go to work. I requested the day off though three weeks prior but wasn't able to get it off and had to work 12-7 that night. It is a good thing my adrenaline was pumping as I had been awake since around 7 Friday morning.

We still had some time for play and it was decided that the four bottoms that were left at the party Jean, Katia Suzy and I would lie across the bed side by side with our bottoms bare as Thomas and todd took turns trying out each and every implement in their toy bags. Which between the two of them is enormous LOL. Both of them have a very large assortment of spanking tools and things. I ended up being on the end which meant that when they switched implements I got a double dose. I got the last spank and the first when they went down the line. LOL. It was a whole lot of fun. Thomas saved the aluminum paddle for last. it was nice and cold since he always keeps it in the fridge at parties. Only three of us were able to take the swats though so Suzy took the extra one since she loves that paddle so much. Thomas then used the paddle to cool down our backsides. How nice was that LOL.

This is where I had to get ready for work and head out. I think there was some more spankings going on after I left but I couldn't be there for the fun. Which really sucked. I went to work and worked the night until 7 although I got off at 6 I stuck around to get my paycheck at 7 when the manager got there since Thomas and katia were filming........

Ill post about Sunday morning in my next post tomorrow. Which will include plenty of pictures and some video clips as well.

Post party drop

2011-02-28T08:08:00.000-05:00

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

2011-02-25T15:36:00.001-05:00

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

2011-02-23T08:37:00.000-05:00

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

Totally random LOL

2011-02-21T08:46:00.000-05:00

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.

Fetish Circuit and nerves LOL

2011-02-18T09:23:00.000-05:00

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

2011-02-17T11:50:00.000-05:00

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

2011-02-16T08:06:00.000-05:00

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.

Something new

2011-02-13T13:22:00.000-05:00

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

2011-02-10T07:08:00.000-05:00

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

2011-02-09T10:40:00.000-05:00

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

2011-02-07T10:12:00.000-05:00

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!!!!!

2011-02-05T03:23:00.000-05:00

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

2011-02-04T11:10:00.000-05:00

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

2011-02-02T16:21:00.000-05:00

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.

Click to join Tampatanners

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

Planning a party

2011-02-01T07:56:00.000-05:00

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.

Sorry I haven't written in a few days. Things get really hectic around here on the weekends since that is when I work the most. I still have a few emails I have to answer as well. I just woke up though and wanted to get a blog post done so I can share a few things. On Thursday Katia came and picked me up and we headed to Brandon for lunch before we met with Thomas for some playtime. I always love spending girl time with her. We have alot of fun and it is a nice break while the kids are in school. Katia is a great person and I am glad to have her as a friend.

I had brought with me a new set from Cane-iac we just got. Well actually Thomas just got from me for Christmas. It is the solid maple wooden paddle set. pictured here.

Thomas's store is a school themed store as we all know. So that set would go well for alot of his videos when he gets the series running again. Since we had gotten it though no one was able to try them out yet and i love trying out new things especially from cane-iac LOL.

Once we picked Thomas up the giggles and playfulness that Katia and I always have never ends you know. So as soon as he got in the car on the way to where we were going to play Katia was started teasing him. It was a simple thing though LOL. She had her windows cracked a little and Thomas told her to roll the window up when he got in the car. She simply told him to say please but Thomas is very very stubborn and refused so she decided to roll it further down and to place the child safety lock on as well. So he rode all with the windows down all the way there. As soon as we got to our play spot and we all got out of the car he grabbed Katia and pinned her to the car swatting her bottom a few times. The funny thing was that there were men working nearby and if they didn't get a glimpse of the spanking it is almost certain that they heard it. LOL

Anyway we all played for a little while with the paddles. It was fun trying them out for play but I don't think I would want them used for anything else LOL. They really pack a good wallop. My bottom is not as conditioned as it once was since I rarely get alot of chances to get spanked anymore. So it wasn't to long after that the paddle broke my skin and Thomas let us know I was a little bummed because we hadn't been playing long and I was so having a great time and so needed the play. He had to stop though and clean the new paddle and tend to my bottom as well. It was just a small spot that broke through but none the less you really don't want blood around when you are playing especially with a new paddle and more then one person. As Thomas was cleaning it though and I got prepared to end our play Katia decided that she was not done playing either and wanted me to still play so she mentioned to Thomas that my thighs were okay. I was like gee thanks Katia. Thomas of course loved that idea and made us both get back into position and continued though only spanking our thighs this time. Ouch a paddle on the thighs!!! I quickly looked at Katia and was like what the hell were you thinking girl. LOL It was fun though and Thomas gave both of us the same so she got the thighs as well for her efforts LOL.

Anyway his time was ending and he had to get back to work. So we all headed to his work. But Katia was not done with the window thing yet. She was determined to make him say please. However he is very very stubborn and still refused. I even one time turned around and said say please please because I was cold. He didn't though and soon got mad instead of playful. So she rolled the window up and he went to work. That night though when she picked him up for work she got a good dose of the hairbrush from what I heard. When he got home he told me that I can expect mine soon for my part in it. I was like hey wait I was an innocent bystander. I am lucky though as I had to go to work that night as well and his chances for getting me are really slim. Now by the time he gets a chance I am sure he will have long forgotten it by then. LOL.

I am planning my first spanking party and have asked Katia to help me. Thomas typically does not like to celebrate his birthday and never tells anyone when it is. But I asked him if I held a party in the form of a spanking party would that be okay and he agreed. I of course cant have it on his actual birthday because of timing but I planned it for pretty close and it will be a Birthday spanking party LOL. I have not gotten all the details yet about where and when and all that. But I did contact some of our spanko friends to get an idea who and how many might be able to make it. Its in May though so I have a little bit of time to plan and things. Should be pretty interesting. If all goes well I might just keep that up every year. I have to order a butt cake pan though for his cake. Whats a spanking birthday party without a butt cake LOL. I think I am going to make the cake myself unless I can find a cheap place that does ass cakes but I am pretty certain it wouldn't be at our local grocery stores.
