Adelle Belnap, Contributor OSSS
If Adelle Belnap had to describe herself with just one word it would be “happy.” Since Disneyland is considered the “Happiest Place on Earth,” it makes perfect sense that it inspires the crafts and activities Adelle contributes to this blog. She also shares inspirational ideas for Christians and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Adelle has four children who love to participate in her blogging. They inspire many of her ideas and are her toughest critics. She loves to travel – in real life and through the stories in her favorite novels. Her favorite place to visit is any coast, as long as the sun and sand are involved.
