I don't care for lying to them, and the other things sound sensible but aren't working.
I know nothing about kids, but is this just for attention? Even when A lies, people listen to the lie, and then they give attention when the lie is discovered and the mom and the teacher have to work it all out. It is all about her!
What if you made her retell the truth when she is caught lying? "No, A, you didn't go to Hawaii. Tell us what you really did at Christmas." In some cases, you could go make her write the true story. Make it clear that you love her and love to listen to her, but you love her telling you the truth.

I agree about the attention thing. You have no idea how hard it is not to get caught up in it. It's very frustrating.
