Hello Everyone,
Happy What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday to you all.
The answer to that question is that there's not a lot on my desk today. For good reason. I have had another fall. This time I tripped on Silver's new cat box.
It replaced a smaller cardboard box kept in the hall that she'd chewed to bits. I hadn't got used to it being larger and tumbled over it on my way to the kitchen to make my first cuppa of the day. I'm now sporting some very colourful bruises, still a bit shaken, and hurting in places I'd rather not. Happily, no damage to my ribs this time.
Back to the photos. A few days ago I was inspired by a fellow scrapper on Facebook to try printing multi photos using my Canon Selphy Printer CP910.
It's an old one, bought in 2011, but still going strong. It's not just compact, it's wireless and I am able with the Canon SPL app to print direct from my mobile phone. Usually, I print the 6"x4" size but occasionally I've printed two 3"x4" images on one print.
The inspiration was to be more daring and create collages of more images like the one above; making it a way to deal with the huge number of photos taken on my mobile phone - many more than I would have taken before the digital age! It's also money-saving. The price of packs of toner cartridges and paper have risen considerably in the last year or so.
These eight photos were all taken while having a stroll down at Ardrossan's seafront so I could use them on one 12"x12" layout. However, there's a very different story attached to each strip which leads me to decide to create two pages rather than one. The top strip is of a visit to the newly opened Wellbeing Cafe at the end of the beach road. The lower strip shows the emergency helicopter looking for the best place to land as near to the beach as possible, aiming to bring medical aid to a canoeist in trouble.
Silver has already made it to this post so let's skip straight to a this week's funnies.
Life with Silver in cartoon form!

Oh Ellie! I’m so sorry to hear you’ve had another fall…it was a bit early in the morning to say you should have had more water. I really hope your bruises fade soon and you feel much better. Take care my friend.
Hugs,
Annie x #8

oh no! hope the aches and pains fade fast...you poor thing. look after yourself and take it easy. Hugs, Helen #2
Oh no Elizabeth, falls are no fun at all, hope you heal soon. Loving the multiprints and your little printer. I get mine printed by a company every 6 months or so and have just received 160+ in the post. If I really thought about it I could do collages beforehand, thanks for the idea. Hugs BJ#1
Another fall, what will we do with you Lol! That looks like a very useful printer and the photos look brilliant. Love the funnies too. Happy woyww, Angela x7x
Ouch that sounds very painful! Hope you heal quickly. Great photos and funnies, please take care xxx
Hi Elizabeth, I think I may have confused you with respect to my scrapbooking update. I scrap chronologically and have nearly finished scrapping 2024. I have just had 160+ photos printed for 2025 so still ALL OF THIS YEAR to go yet! I make that about 6 months behind which is an advance on a year behind though so getting there. Hugs BJ#1
Hi BJ, no you didn't confuse me at all. You are 6 months behind and that makes me something like 9 months behind, possibly more. My problem is that while I scrap chronologically for current albums, I'm also in the process of scrapping all the old photos that go back decades. I know I'll never scrap them all but I enjoy creating the family history albums too. Hugs, Elizabeth #12
Oh No! I’m so sorry you tripped over the box but am extremely glad that you didn’t do any major harm apart from the bruising. Hope you’ve moved the box to somewhere more out of the way now! The printer photos are fab and I know only too well how things can change in an instant, people get cut off on the sandbanks here all the time, they account for 80% of the call outs.
Hugs LLJ 5 xx
Oh no! Poor you. I am so worried about falling over Poppy - having said that I also took a tumble this week (came crashing down on my knees - ouch!) and nothing to do with her at all. I had a dye-sub printer, a HiTi, and loved it so much. I have a new Canon inkjet and at this point am pretty sure any future printer I get will be a Canon as well, I just love them. Like you I always preferred printing multiple images on a single piece - I bought 6x8s mostly and laid them out in my not-Photpshop program before printing. I've been caught in a rip-tide before, as a swimmer, not in a canoe, so can image that must have been quite scary, even as a watcher! I was lucky to be with my Aunt, who had been a lifeguard, so didn't need "saving" but in different circumstances... Opps. That got long! Stay cool on this late, HOT WOYWW
