We've Had a Makeover!

 
 Arts & Crafts
 
 
From Kate Pullen, your About Arts & Crafts Editor
 
 
If you read this newsletter regularly you will know that I often feature makeover projects where we take an existing product which is perhaps a little old and tired and give it a whole new look. Well, this week the tables have been turned and it is us, the arts and crafts sites, that have had the makeover. If you visit any of the arts and crafts sites on About.com now you will see a whole new look. You will find lots of changes, in particular lovely large photos and images featured on our tutorial pages. This week I am going to give you a whistle stop tour, and highlight some great new features for you. There are many more exciting changes to come and we hope you love the new look as much as we do.  Happy crafting! Kate
