I had an extremely similair situation. So that it doesn't come off mean but you're still getting your point accross maybe you can say something like you're so funny. It's so cute how proud of yourself you get. Believe it or not she may get the hint if you put it that way and at least it's not coming off mean. I've actually tried this tactive and it really worked. OR if you might want something more effective you can say ______ you're so funny, I find it so cute how you're so high on yourself but say it laughing so you don't come off like you're being mean. Eventually if you continue to say things like this I'm pretty sure she'll get the hint and calm down her bragging habbits. I really hope this helped! =)

One day when we were talking online she finaly drove me way over the edge bragging about making our school play. What i did was calmly tell her, "That's soo great that you _______, and really i am very happy for you. But sometimes you might want to tone down about what youre talking to me, and the girls about, because yeah, were happy for you! and we defenitly want to hear about it! but sometimes it can come across as bragging, and we know you dont mean it to be that way, but sometimes it does, please don't take this the wrong way, but i just wanted to let you know" thats a good way to put it because it lets her know that you love and care about her and her accomplisments, but also lets her know that she needs to tone it down a bit.
good luck!
hope i helped!
