Saint John on the web

Interesting links based on local happenings I've come across in the last week! This list rounds up a few giveaways, a newly opened store uptown, and a way to get home safely from holiday parties this season:

1. The local giveaway marathon continues on Barbbarbbarb's blog: #30in30.

3. Judith Mackin's  top 10 art tips- why bad art will never do. 
4. Kiera Fraser strongly recommends shopping local for your Christmas gifts.
5. You can now subscribe to the Telegraph Journal's new and (finally) improved website instead of getting the paper.
6. Operation Red Nose, a great local (and free) service to get people home safely during the holidays, is looking for more volunteers.
7. Tickets for the upcoming Saint John Wine Festival in February are now on sale.
8. Cannon Security Inc is hosting a a Wonderland Facebook Giveaway.
9. The Yoga Outlet is hosting a (free) candle-lit Winter Solstice session on the shortest day of the year- this Wednesday.
10. Loving local blogger Candice's outfits on Brillant Sugar- many of the items from her closet have local origins.
