sister issues
I recently had a scrapbooking party at my house. My sister got to meet a few of my friends from work. This was the FIRST time she had met them. I got a phone call from her a few days later, asking if she could have the home addresses of 4 of the women from my party. I didn't have the addresses on hand, so I told her I'd get back to her. She wanted to send them cards. She later told me she had looked in the phone book and gotten another one of the addresses on her own and sent a card to one of my other friends. Do I confront my sister? I think it's weird to send cards in the mail to people that are my friends that she's only met once. Also, she doesn't know the politics in my workplace. Help!

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
maybe she likes the way your friends act and want to thank them
i wont consider it a problem yet
see what your friends think about it

I suppose it was a little strange, but maybe she just wanted to thank them for their kindness and let them know she enjoyed spending time with them.
As I don't know the politics of your workplace I can't really comment much more on this.
Unless one of the women happen to mention being offended by this then you should just drop it. Now if you find out someone took offense to your sister's gesture maybe you should sit down and talk with her, explaining the way people are where you work and how they feel. Tell your sister that you understand she was just trying to be nice, but these people don't take to such gestures.
I wouldn't go that far unless one of the women expresses dislike towards the cards though. I will say I agree with you a little bit that what your sister did was strange, but I suppose she felt she was being courteous. So I suppose I'm just saying to drop it unless someone is taken aback/hurt by what your sister did; although I don't know why they would be.

I wouldn't fret over it. If they don't like her sending them cards, they'll say something. The women surely realize she doesn't know how things are in your workplace.
She's surely just trying to be friendly, and she may not know any other way she feels comfortable with to try to get to express friendship to folks she don't know.
If the ladies do happen to mention that they are offended or don't want her sending cards, then would worry about saying something to her.
Until then, there really isn't any harm in it, and there really isn't any sense of potentially hurting her feelings unless someone has a problem with it.
