How long do you have left there? Your boss seems very childish and I bet you'll be glad to leave.
I'd ask why she is treating you this way and explain it's nothing personal - it was just time

The fact you are leaving, I would ask why your job roll has changed as you are still contributing to the project you are on.
It sounds as if your boss doesn't have the correct management skills, if this was done for a personal reason, to make you feel unwelcome.

There is no excuse for treating you this way, she comes across as being very weak in her job role and makes the rest of all managers in similar postions look like pratts.
She should wish you well in your new venture but at the same time ask her self why you are leaving and will others follow.
Your probably best going on sick leave through stress brought on by her actions untill you notice period ends or if you have holiday allocation left - take it.

Sounds like a boss I used to work for he didnt used to speak to anyone who was on their 1 month notice, treated them like something you find on the bottom of your shoe, increased workload - most of which wasn't in their remit and acted very immaturely.

At the end their was no "thanks for all the hard work you have put in over the years". It looks like you confirmed why you moved in the first place - so I would be glad you have found someone else to work for, someone with better management skills than her.

Just get on with your job and count down the days until unprofessional managers like her will hopefully be a thing of the past (I hope).She will be the one who are worse off as a result of the experience and knowledge they have lost.

Good luck!

I think a word with HR department might help because they might as well put you on garden leave if that is the case until your notice has finished

Its not good your boss acting this way. But you'll probably find thats their little way of meaning that they would rather you stayed. I know a very odd way. The only way to look at it is, if it carrys on you know that you'll be out of the situation very soon.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned! It looks as if she is miffed that you have found something better for you and if this is her curent behaviour pattern, it may be that she has been taking much of your credit and will now have some difficulty making herself look good in your absence.
Just approach her and be pleasant and direct. Ask why you are excluded and inform her that your ethics and dedication (which she should have noticed) would not only make you want to see the tasks through to the end, but that because of your familiarity with the project or whatever, you may in fact be best placed to do this.
Good luck!

I know exactly how you feel I've been going through some things at my current employer as well in the last couple of months, my employer thinks it comlpetely appropriate to spy on the employess' instant messenger,e-mails,private myspace accounts and spread judgement derrived from that across the company, along with induging in scathing e-mails that are beyond unprofessional. the sad part is that my company claims to be christian based, and frankly i think that is just a easy way for them to establish a customer base because they have obviously forgotten the prinicples of the good book.
